Ingredients
Olive oil, for cooking
1 red onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
4 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and centers scooped out
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Coat bottom of a medium pan over medium heat with olive oil. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes more. Add the sausage and cook, stirring frequently and breaking up the sausage into crumbles, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove mixture from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Add oregano and Parmesan and stir to combine.
- Fill each zucchini with the sausage mixture, packing them slightly, and place on a sheet tray. Drizzle with olive oil and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
