Herb-Stuffed Zucchini

This is so simple to whip together, and tastes absolutely wonderful!  I was inspired by a Food Network Magazine recipe to easily convert their idea into a gluten-free version.  They called for parsley and dill, but I went with some tasty herbs I had growing outside.  I'd say go with whatever kinds you're in the mood for that day. If you use rosemary, just use very little since it's strong.  Even my 2 year old enjoyed it! Enjoy!

Gluten-Free Herb-Stuffed Zucchini

Serves 2 (as a meal) or 4 (as side dish)

Pre-heat oven to 425F. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.

Split 2 medium zucchini length-wise and scoop out the seeds. Place on foil-lined pan.

Mix together the following:

1/3 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs

1 small tomato, diced OR handful of grape tomatoes, diced

1-2 Tbsp mix of fresh herbs, minced (I used fresh chives, thyme and a little rosemary from my herb garden)

1-2 tsp minced garlic

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper

Spoon into the zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with extra salt and pepper.

Bake 25-30 minutes.  Zucchini should be tender and filling will be nice and crispy.

Enjoy!
