Ingredients:

🥒 2 zucchini squash
🧀 6 oz. panela cheese
🧅 Small piece of onion
🥓 8 strips of thick bacon
🌿 A handful of parsley, for garnish
🦷 A few toothpicks, to secure


Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking.
  2. Prepare the zucchini squash by trimming off the ends, cutting them in half lengthwise, and then using the spoon or utensil to scoop out the seeds and create a canal inside each zucchini half.
  3. Slice the panela cheese into thick pieces that will fit snugly into the canal you just created in the zucchini halves.
  4. Finely chop a small piece of onion and evenly distribute it inside the canals over the cheese. This will add a lovely aroma and subtle flavor to the dish.
  5. Carefully wrap each zucchini half with two strips of bacon, ensuring they are covered entirely and look nice and neat. If needed, use toothpicks to secure the bacon in place.
  6. Place the bacon-wrapped zucchini boats on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the zucchini is tender.
  7. Once done, remove the zucchini from the oven, and carefully take out the toothpicks.
  8. Garnish the boats with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
  9. Before serving, do a quick taste test. The bacon and panela cheese should provide enough flavor, but you can season with salt and pepper if desired.
  10. Serve your Bacon-Wrapped Panela-Stuffed Zucchini Boats hot from the oven and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Cooking Tips:

If the bacon you're using isn't very salty, you might want to season the zucchini with a pinch of salt and pepper before adding the cheese and onion.
