Equipment

  • roasting dish
  • sharp knife
  • Grater

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 courgettes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoon parsley
  • 50 g Gruyere cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 30 g panko

Instructions
 

  • Put the breadcrumbs in a bowl and add the salt and pepper. Crush the garlic and chop the parsley then add to the mixture.
  • Wash the courgettes and trim the ends. Cut in half lengthways and cut each piece in half.
  • Remove the seeds using a spoon.
  • Place the courgettes on the oven tray and fill the centres with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the top.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F / 160 FAN / Gas 4 and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Grate the cheese over the courgettes and bake for a further 10 minutes then serve.

Notes

💭 Top Tip
  • Try using a grapefruit spoon to remove the seeds. The serrated edge makes this really easy.
  • Although there is no need to peel the courgettes it is helpful to use a vegetable peeler to remove the peel along the length of the rounded side. This helps to stop them rolling around on the oven tray.
