Ingredients

• 6 mini zucchinis
• 6 cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup bell pepper (any color, finely diced)
• 0.5 cup baby spinach (chopped)
• 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash the zucchinis and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and hollow out the centers using a small spoon or melon baller to create mini boats. Set the scooped-out flesh aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the scooped-out zucchini flesh and add it to a mixing bowl. Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters and add to the bowl along with the diced bell pepper and chopped spinach.

Step 4

In a small pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the zucchini mixture to the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables slightly soften.

Step 5

Remove the pan from heat and mix in the crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Place the zucchini boats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the veggie filling into each zucchini boat, packing them generously.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender and the filling is warmed through.

Step 8

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Mini Veggie Wagons as a fun appetizer or light snack!
