Ingredients
  

  • 3 large zucchini ends trimmed and halved
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Fresh cracked black pepper
  • 8 slices thin-cut cheddar cheese cut into 1-inch squares
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Line up chopsticks on either side of zucchini halves, then carefully make 1/4” slices, making sure your knife hits the chopsticks (the chopsticks will prevent you from cutting all the way through the zucchini). Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
  • Place zucchini on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Bake until pliable, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the zucchini from the oven and carefully insert the cheddar cheese slices in each cut of the zucchini. Return to the oven for 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly, then top each zucchini with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of bacon crumbles, and chopped chives.
