- Prepare the zucchini properly: Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. This will create a boat-shaped cavity for the stuffing.
- Use a flavorful stuffing: The stuffing is what makes this dish special, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of meats, vegetables, and spices that you enjoy.
- Cook the zucchini until it's tender: The zucchini should be cooked until it's tender but still holds its shape. This will usually take about 15-20 minutes in the oven.
- Serve the zucchini hot: Stuffed zucchini is best served hot out of the oven. Top it with your favorite sauce and enjoy!
