Chef's tip
Soy sauce is saltier and less sweet; start with less and adjust.

For the topping

4 oz fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

For serving

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly oil a 9x13-inch baking dish.
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. Reserve the scooped flesh. Brush the cut sides of the zucchini shells with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, then arrange them cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
