Stuffed zucchini is a versatile dish often found in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and American cuisines, showcasing fresh, seasonal flavors. The dish typically features hollowed-out zucchini filled with a savory mixture of ingredients such as ground meats, rice, breadcrumbs, tomatoes, onions, herbs, and spices. Variations may include vegetarian options that incorporate beans, quinoa, or cheese. Zucchini itself is low in calories, rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, making it a nutritious base for the dish. The healthfulness of stuffed zucchini depends on the filling; lean proteins, whole grains, and vegetables contribute to a balanced meal, while higher-fat cheeses and processed meats may increase the calorie and fat content. Baking or steaming over frying helps retain its nutritional benefits. Stuffed zucchini is a delicious way to enjoy wholesome ingredients with customizable flavors suited to different diets and preferences.
