Ingredients:


  • 2 large zucchinis
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Cooking Instructions


  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the center to create “boats,” leaving about a 1/4-inch thick shell.
  3. Brush the zucchini boats with olive oil, and place them on a baking sheet.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the onions and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and red chili flakes, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the parsley, cilantro, and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Spoon the herb mixture evenly into the zucchini boats.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with lemon wedges.
