Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, or almond flour for low-carb
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Lime wedges for serving, optional
Method
1. Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Pat zucchini dry and scoop out a shallow center to make a little boat.
2. Season: Brush cut sides with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and half the minced garlic.
3. Topping: In a bowl mix panko, parmesan, mozzarella, remaining garlic, oregano, and 1 tbsp olive oil until crumbly.
4. Bake: Spoon topping onto each zucchini half. Press lightly. Bake 20-25 min until zucchini is tender and topping is golden and crispy.
5. Finish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for brightness.
