📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Using a spoon, remove the seeds and flesh from the zucchini halves, ensuring to not pierce the sides of the zucchini and leaving a 1/4-inch thick wall. Finely chop the zucchini flesh.

Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes, breaking up any large clumps. Stir in tomato sauce, parsley, and cooked rice, bring to a simmer. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper).

Place zucchini halves cut side-up on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly divide the beef mixture between the zucchini shells. Sprinkle each half with 1 tablespoon each mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
