- 1 Salt
- 1/3 cup Ideal Protein Croutons
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 390° F.
Step 2
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Leave the shell at least 6-7 mm (¼”) thick or even more. Keep about ⅓ of the zucchini flesh aside.
Step 3
Sprinkle the zucchini shell with salt and place it cut side down on a paper towel for a few minutes to remove the excess water.
Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. In a bowl, mix the canned tuna with the ⅓ of zucchini flesh – chopped finely.
Step 5
Add the egg, lemon juice, and IP Crouton crumbs and mix well.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon, stuff the zucchini, press well to make sure there are no air pockets.
Step 7
Place the zucchini on a baking sheet, then sprinkle on top with chopped parsley, more breadcrumbs, and drizzle with olive oil.
Step 8
Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a fork can easily pierce the zucchini.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy!
