3 flatbreads or naan

3 cloves garlic

3 green bell peppers

¾ cup Kalamata olives, pitted

1 ½ (227 g) blocks mozzarella cheese

18 slices prosciutto

3 (213 ml) cans tomato sauce

6 medium zucchini squash

extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 230°C (450°F).

Wash, dry, trim, and halve zucchini lengthwise. Scrape out the soft flesh from the middle of each half, place in large bowl, and set aside for later use.

Arrange zucchini halves, cut-side up, on a large baking sheet pan; drizzle with oil and season with spices.

Place zucchini boats in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake until starting to soften, 6-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, roughly chop reserved zucchini flesh and return to the bowl.

Wash, dry, trim, and seed bell peppers; small dice. Add to the bowl with the zucchini.

Roughly chop olives. Add to the bowl.

Chop or tear prosciutto into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl, along with sauce and spices, then stir to combine the filling. Set aside.

Coarsely grate cheese.

Remove zucchini boats from the oven, divide filling between them, and top with half of the cheese. (Reserve remaining cheese for later use.)

Return zucchini boats to the oven and continue to bake until flesh is tender, filling is warmed through, and cheese is bubbly, 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, peel and mince garlic. Place in a small bowl along with oil and spices. Stir to combine the garlic oil.

Place flatbreads on another large baking sheet, spread with garlic oil, then sprinkle with remaining cheese. Add to the oven and bake until slightly crispy and cheese is melted, 4-5 minutes. Remove from oven and cut into strips.

To serve, divide stuffed zucchini and cheesy bread sticks between plates. Enjoy!
