ZUCCHINI BOATS WITH PARMESAN CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat or or aluminum foil.
• Mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic, and black pepper in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until evenly mixed throughout. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to absorb the butter.
• Trim the root end off the zucchini. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. With a tablespoon, scoop out the center of each half to remove the seeds. You should end up with a well in the center if each. Place the scooped zucchini halves, cut side up, on the baking sheet.
• Fill the center of each well with the crumble mixture, packing down and covering the top of each zucchini half. Sprinkle some extra parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake for 35 - 45 minutes in the hot oven until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the zucchini halves are fork tender.
• Slice each half in 4 pieces and serve warm. Spoon any fallen crumble on top for extra crunch.

Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until just tender but still firm when tested with the tip of a small paring knife.
• Meanwhile, make the bread crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, basil, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the panko and 3 1/2 tablespoons of oil and mix well.
• Turn the zucchini cut side up and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the panko mixture evenly on each zucchini. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the panko is crispy. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
