Time 2h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Vidalia or sweet onions
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium zucchini, shredded
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
3 tablespoons Progresso™ plain dry bread crumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped toasted pine nuts
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking pan with foil.
  • Cut 1/2" off the top of each onion; slightly trim the bottoms so that the onions stand upright. Place the onions, cut side up, in the prepared baking pan and coat with cooking spray. Bake for 1 hour, or until soft. Set aside for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Remove and discard the onion peels. Using a spoon, scoop out the onion centers, leaving a 1/2" shell. Chop the centers and reserve 1 cup for the stuffing; save the remainder for another use.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, garlic, thyme, basil, and the 1 cup chopped onions. Cook for 6 minutes, or until the zucchini is softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and stir in the bread crumbs, pine nuts, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • Divide the filling among the onion shells. Place the onion shells in the same baking pan and top with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minute, or until golden.

These onions are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add chopped carrots, celery, and bell peppers to my stuffing.
