    Things To Grab

    • Small spoon
    • Large skillet
    • Large baking sheet
    • Small bowl

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    2. Halve zucchini lengthwise; use a small spoon to remove the pulp from the inside of the zucchini halves leaving 1/4-inch shells; save pulp for later use. Lightly salt and pepper shells; set aside. Peel and dice sweet potato into 1/4-inch cubes.

    3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; add sweet potato, garlic, red pepper, and onion. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until mixture begins to soften. Add stock, cranberries, wild rice, cumin, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and zucchini pulp. Simmer 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.

    4. Divide mixture evenly between zucchini shells. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

    5. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and dried parsley in a small bowl. Top zucchini boats with mixture during the last 10 minutes of baking.
