Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh from the zucchini halves, leaving a 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thick border. Chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh and set aside.
- Place the zucchini halves cut-side-up on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, or until softened.
- Stir in the chopped zucchini flesh, garlic, corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, until the mixture is heated through.
- Spoon the veggie mixture into the zucchini boats, pressing down gently to pack it in. Top each boat with shredded cheese.
- Bake the stuffed zucchini boats for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with your choice of optional toppings, such as avocado, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or salsa.
