The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 5 small zucchini, halved lengthwise

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • fresh herbs, basil, parsley, oregano (optional, for garnish)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and line them up on a quarter sheet baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center goes in easily and the zucchini are completely tender. 
  • While zucchini is baking, combine mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning in a small mixing bowl and stir to combine.
