How to prepare round zucchini stuffed with tuna

Let’s start preparing the Round Zucchini Stuffed with Tuna, cut the string cheese (pizza mozzarella, scamorza, or provola) into cubes.
Boil the potatoes and cut them into pieces, place them on a plate, and add chopped parsley.
Mash them with a fork.
Add a splash of extra virgin olive oil.
A pinch of salt.
The cheese cubes.
And the tuna, mix well and set aside.
Wash the zucchinis, cut the top off, and set aside, using a knife, carve the flesh.
Scoop out the internal flesh with a melon baller or a knife if you don’t have one.
Grease the baking tray with some oil.
Arrange the round zucchinis.
And fill them with the potato and tuna filling.
Add a splash of oil over the filling.
And cover with the zucchini tops. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 20 minutes, the zucchini should be cooked but still crispy.
When the Round Zucchini Stuffed with Tuna baked in the oven are ready, remove them from the oven and serve them hot or at room temperature.
If you want, you can cook the stuffed round zucchinis in an air fryer, place them on a tray and then lay the tray in the fryer basket, cook at 375°F for 15 minutes, then open the basket, check the doneness of the zucchinis, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes if necessary. The cooking time may vary depending on the type of air fryer you use (I use this airfryer HERE). I recommend checking out all the air fryer recipes, you’ll surely find more delicious dishes to try.
