This recipe is a nutrition bomb. Did you know that cooked tomatoes are healthier than raw tomatoes? Cooking them breaks down the cell walls, allowing the body to absorb up to 35% more Lycopene- a potent, powerful antioxidant. Pairing it with cheese, the effect is maximized even more, as Lycopene is absorbed in your body more effectively when consumed with a healthy fat. Now, how about that?
Ingredients for stuffed zucchinis:
Method of preparing the stuffed zucchinis:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Thoroughly cleanse the zucchinis.

Slice lengthwise and if needed, trim the edges. Using a spoon, scoop out the insides, leaving 1/2 an inch. Chop the zucchini pulp.
-
Sauté the onion chops until slightly brown. Add the curry, stir for a few seconds and immediately remove from the heat. This is important as the curry can go bitter if overcooked.
-
Transfer to a bowl and add the sour cream, thyme, salt and pepper, the zucchini pulp and chopped tomatoes.
-
Line a baking dish with parchment paper and arrange the zucchinis evenly spaced. Fill the zucchini shells and sprinkle the cheese on top. Bake for 20 mniutes.
-
After 20 minutes baking, turn up the heat or the upper grill to give the zucchini a roasted finish.
