Today I made round stuffed zucchinis. A very simple but very tasty dish. Round stuffed zucchinis are perfect for a quick, light lunch or dinner. I cooked them in the air fryer, but you can also bake them in the oven or fry them in a pan — they’re delicious either way. They can be enjoyed hot or cold, so you can prepare them the day before, and I’ll tell you, they’re even better then.
