Tomato & Cheese-Stuffed Zucchini

Ingredients

2 zucchini, each about 8-in. (20 cm) long
1/2 tsp garlic powder 2 mL
1 tbsp olive oil 15 mL
1/2 small onion, diced
1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper 2 mL
1 tsp chopped fresh Oregano 5 mL
1/2 tsp chopped fresh Thyme 2 mL
1/3 cup grated Old Cheddar Cheese 75 mL

Directions:

# Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Trim ends and cut zucchini lengthwise in half. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out seeds to make a trench. Chop seeds and pulp. Place zucchini halves on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic powder; set aside.

# Heat oil in a skillet set on medium-high. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in chopped zucchini, tomato, salt and pepper. Cook a few minutes then add the fresh herbs.

# Spoon mixture evenly into zucchini halves and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake for 20 min., until cheese is bubbling and brown around the edges
