Ingredients
•
nonstick cooking spray
•
3 zucchini
•
1/4 cup olive oil
•
3 cloves garlic, crushed
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
•
1 cup dry bread crumbs
•
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
•
1 drizzle olive oil
•
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions
1
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2
Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and trim a little off of the bottoms so that they will sit flat in the baking dish. Scoop out the centers, where the seeds are, with a spoon.
3
Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a cup or bowl. Brush over the inner surfaces of the zucchini boats. Arrange tomatoes into the grooves and sprinkle bread crumbs around and in between to fill in the gaps.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven's broiler on.
5
Place mozzarella cheese around and on top of the tomatoes. Return to the oven and broil until golden brown and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
