Ingredients
-
2 large zucchini
-
¼ teaspoon salt, divided
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
-
⅓ cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
-
2 scallions, sliced, divided
-
2 slices cooked bacon, chopped, divided
-
8 teaspoons reduced-fat sour cream
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
-
Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Cut a thin slice off the bottoms so that each half sits flat. Scoop out the pulp, leaving a 1/4-inch shell. (Reserve the pulp.) Sprinkle the shells with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place on a large rimmed baking sheet; bake for 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, finely chop the pulp, then squeeze dry using a clean kitchen towel. Place in a medium bowl. Add cheese, all but 1 tablespoon scallions, half the bacon and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper; stir to combine. Spoon the filling into the prebaked shells. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot, 12 to 15 minutes.
-
Dollop each piece with 2 teaspoons sour cream and sprinkle with the reserved 1 tablespoon scallions and the remaining bacon.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
