This is a round zucchini:
What is a round zucchini?
A zucchini that is round.
It’s exactly the same, just a different shape.
So I got this zucchini at the farmer’s market this past Thursday. I asked the farmer’s market lady what it was and she said…a round zucchini. I asked what to do with it and she said, “stuff it” so I did. Here’s a lovely little how to for you.
Step 1:
Cut open the zucchini (or eggplant or pepper or tomato, etc)
Step 2:
Scoop out the seeds and get rid of them then scoop out some of the flesh and put it in a bowl for part of the stuffing:
Step 3:
Dice a whole bunch of whatever vegetables you have that might be good inside the zucchini. I used the following:
Step 4:
If you use spinach, I would recommend sauteeing with some olive oil so your stuffing mixture will actually fit in the zucchini…
Step 5:
Put your zucchini halves in a baking pan and stuff with your stuffing mixture and then sprinkle with bread crumbs and a little more olive oil (or butter if that’s your thing):
Step 6:
Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. (Note: I wouldn’t do this on an 80 degree day when you have no air conditioning like I did but whatever). I needed stuffed zucchini for dinner THAT NIGHT.
Annnnnd cooked:
There you go. I hope you enjoyed my short, easy how to. I’m working on a weekend recap post that I’ll probably have up tomorrow. Get excited for that one..!
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I did (which you will soon see). It was kind of busy but now I’m relaxing on the couch before another busy work week.
I’m enjoying thinking. I love when that happens.
Good Evening!
