Steps for Preparing Tuna Stuffed Zucchini
For a perfect preparation WATCH THE VIDEO RECIPE
Start by washing the zucchini under running water.
On a cutting board, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop them out with a teaspoon, keeping the pulp aside. Coarsely chop the pulp with a knife.
Chop the scamorza cheese with a chopper.
In a bowl, pour the chopped zucchini pulp, drained tuna, scamorza cheese, breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Mix and blend everything together.
If baking in the oven, line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the zucchini side by side. If using an air fryer, place them in the basket in batches
Generously fill them with the help of a teaspoon and bake in the oven at 356°F for about 40 minutes, until golden brown, or in an air fryer at 356°F for about 20 minutes.
