Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchini

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
12. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
