Zucchini Boats

 2 zucchinis
 1 cup roughly torn bread crumbs
 1 egg, beaten
  cup parmesan
 ¼ cup pinenuts
 ½ cup cherry tomoatoes, diced
 ¼ cup lemon zest
 12 garlic cloves, diced
1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Prep your zucchini by washing them and slicing lengthwise in half; with a spoon, scoop out the flesh of each squash half, leaving 1/4" of squash as your zucchini boat. Our zucchini were particularly seedy, so I tried to hand-pick out some of the larger seeds from the flesh. Allow the scooped squash to drain in a sieve while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

In a prep bowl, mix your bread crumbs, zest, egg, garlic, pinenuts, parmesan and tomatoes.

4

Add your drained squash to the mixture, ensuring that some water has been released, either by pressing down on the squash or absorbing some water with a paper towel.

5

Prep your zucchini boats with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. Then, stuff each boat with equal proportions of bread crumb mixture.

Bake at 425 for about 15-18 minutes, until the squash are cooked and the stuffing lightly browned.
