👨‍🍳 Instructions

Fill a large pot with salted water, place the zucchini into the pot, and boil over medium heat for about 5 minutes to soften.

Remove the zucchini, slice in half lengthwise, and allow to cool.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Scoop out the flesh from the zucchini halves, leaving a 1/2-inch shell.

Set aside the scooped out flesh in a bowl.

Place the zucchini flesh into a bowl and mash well.

Mix in the tuna, onion, tomato, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper.

Lightly stuff the zucchini shells with the tuna mixture.

Drizzle about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil over each stuffed zucchini half.

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are slightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
