Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Cut off both the tops and bottoms of the medium-sized zucchinis, then slice them lengthwise to create shallow hollows.
  3. Brush the insides of each hollowed zucchini with olive oil and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta, strained Greek yogurt, spring onions, garlic powder, lemon zest, parsley, and a tablespoon of olive oil with oregano.
  5. Once the zucchini has cooled, reduce oven temperature to 180°C (356°F) and fill each boat with the cheese mixture, drizzling olive oil on top.
  6. Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the filling is set and golden.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving, drizzled with olive oil.
