→ Main Ingredients

01 - 8 small young zucchini (approximately 450g total weight)

02 - 115g high-quality goat cheese (such as Montchevre), cut into thin strips

03 - 60ml finely chopped fresh mint

04 - Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

05 - 30ml extra virgin olive oil

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 200°C and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

02 - Trim the zucchini ends. Cut a thin slit along the length of each zucchini. Season with salt and pepper.

03 - Sprinkle half the mint into the slits. Insert strips of goat cheese, and sprinkle with remaining mint. Drizzle with olive oil.

04 - Place zucchini on the prepared baking pan and loosely cover with foil. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for 20 more minutes. Serve hot.

# Notes:

01 - This dish works best with young, tender zucchini that are still firm.

02 - For best results, choose a creamy goat cheese that melts well.
