A delicious and healthy weeknight meal featuring zucchini halves filled with a savory ground beef, tomato sauce, and cheese mixture. Topped with fresh basil and cheese, these stuffed zucchinis are baked to perfection for a quick and epic dinner.
1: In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the onion, garlic, salt, and olive oil.
2: Once the beef is no longer pink, add the tomato sauce and fresh basil and simmer for 15 minutes to combine flavors.
3: Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
4: In a large oven-safe dish, add the zucchini halves and core the centers to create a boat shape.
5: Fill the zucchinis with the beef tomato sauce mixture.
6: Grate Parmesan over the top, then add the mozzarella cheese.
7: Cover with tin foil and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
8: Remove the tin foil and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until the zucchini are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
9: If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispness.
10: Wait for 5 minutes before serving and enjoy!
