Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 mini zucchinis
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup bell pepper (any color, finely diced)
- 0.5 cup baby spinach (chopped)
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the zucchinis and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and hollow out the centers using a small spoon or melon baller to create mini boats. Set the scooped-out flesh aside.
Finely chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh and add it to a mixing bowl. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and add to the bowl along with the diced bell pepper and chopped spinach.
In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the zucchini mixture to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables slightly soften.
Remove the pan from heat and mix in the crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the zucchini boats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the veggie filling into each zucchini boat, packing them generously.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender and the filling is warmed through.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Mini Veggie Wagons as a fun appetizer or light snack!
