1 small yellow onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained

Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Chef's tip
Use low-moisture mozzarella and shred before measuring.

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil or cooking spray.
2
Trim the ends from each zucchini and halve them lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Roughly chop the scooped flesh and set it aside.
