Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 tomato, finely chopped
• 3 zucchini, ends trimmed
• 4 (3 ounce) cans tuna, drained and flaked
• 0.25 onion, grated

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3

Fill a large pot with salted water, place zucchini into the pot, and boil over medium heat for about 5 minutes to soften. Remove zucchini, slice in half lengthwise, and allow to cool.

Step 4

Scoop out flesh from zucchini halves, leaving a 1/2-inch shell. Set aside scooped-out flesh in a bowl.

Step 5

Place zucchini flesh into a bowl and mash well. Mix in tuna, onion, tomato, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Lightly stuff zucchini shells with tuna mixture. Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil over each stuffed zucchini half.
