This recipe is 4 PointsPlus points for 2 pieces of Zucchini! Plus it's really easy to make and a crowd pleaser! Got off of the WW site. Ingredients:
nonstick cooking spray, 1 spray |
4 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise |
1 large egg, beaten |
1/2 teaspoon table salt, divided |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs, divided |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated & divided |
1 tablespoon italian parsley, minced |
6 ounces lean ground beef |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1/2 fluid ounce red wine |
1/4 medium lemon, quartered for garnish |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a large baking pan with cooking spray.
2. Scoop out seeds from zucchini; chop and reserve flesh. Arrange zucchini halves, cut side-up, in prepared pan.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon cheese, parsley, beef and chopped zucchini flesh; mix well.
4. Fill each zucchini half with a heaping tablespoon of beef mixture; spread into an even layer. Sprinkle beef with remaining tablespoon of bread crumbs; drizzle with oil and wine.
5. Bake until beef is cooked through and zucchini is tender-crisp; about 30 minutes. Remove to a serving platter; garnish with remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and tablespoon of cheese. Serve with lemon wedges. Yields 2 zucchini halves per serving.
