Ingredients

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Step 2Slice off both ends of zucchini and discard. Line up chopsticks on either side of zucchini, then carefully make 1/4” slices, making sure your knife hits the chopsticks. Repeat with remaining zucchini.
3. Step 3Place zucchini on a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet and bake until pliable, 10 minutes. Let cool until you can handle, then, alternating with pepperoni and mozzarella, stuff the slices of zucchini. Sprinkle each with a pinch of Italian seasoning and 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Bake until cheese is melty and pepperoni is crispy, 10 minutes more.
4. Step 4Serve with marinara for dipping.
