Baked meat-stuffed zucchini is a delicious main course, easy to make and you don’t even need to boil the zucchini before baking. As the meat filling cooks, the zucchini cook too. You can prepare the baked stuffed zucchini in advance and then reheat them for a few minutes. They are also great served warm. For the filling, I used ground beef, but you can also use ground turkey, a mixed ground meat, or even just turkey. I recommend trying the AIR FRYER STUFFED ZUCCHINI, perfect if you don’t want to turn on the oven, maybe during the summer season.

How to prepare baked meat-stuffed zucchini
Let’s start preparing the baked meat-stuffed zucchini by trimming the zucchini, cutting it in half lengthwise, and scooping out the center to create a cavity to fill with meat.
Now prepare the ground meat for the filling, place it in a bowl, add an egg, chopped parsley, mashed boiled potato, salt, and breadcrumbs, mixing everything well until you get a homogeneous mixture.
Fill the zucchini with the meat mixture, drizzle some oil over the meat, arrange them in a baking dish, and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 30 minutes.
Once cooked, take the zucchini out of the oven and serve them hot.
