Mediterranean Baked Zucchini Sticks

Ingredients

4 zucchini, medium

1 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped

1/2 cup tomatoes, finely chopped

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, finely chopped

3 large garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp oregano, dried

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the middle with a spoon or melon baller. Discard or eat the flesh ( I love raw zucchini!). Set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix to combine bell pepper, tomato, olives, garlic, oregano and black pepper. Fill each zucchini with a mixture distributing evenly. Place in a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Top with feta cheese and broil on high for 3 more minutes or until cheese has browned. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley and serve hot or cold.

Store: Refrigerate covered for up to 2-3 days.
