Keto Stuffed Zucchini

Keto Stuffed Zucchini is a flavorful and satisfying dish that combines tender zucchini boats filled with a savory mixture of ground beef, cheese, and spices. This low-carb meal is perfect for a healthy dinner option that doesn't compromise on taste.

Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 250g ground beef
• 50g cream cheese, softened
• 50g shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 30g grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. Wash the zucchini and slice them in half lengthwise. Scoop out the insides using a spoon to create boats, leaving about 1 cm of flesh around the edges.
3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in the scooped-out zucchini flesh, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until well combined and heated through.
6. Fill each zucchini boat with the beef mixture and place them in a baking dish.
7. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of the stuffed zucchinis.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and golden.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
