Let’s Ketofy It!
Wash the zucchini thoroughly with water. Place them on a chopping board and using a sharp knife, cut through the zucchini lengthwise. Remove the insides of the zucchini, including the pulp, to make an empty zucchini shell.
Spray the whole zucchini with 2 tablespoon of oil. Reserve the shells for later use.
Slice the bacon and the pulp into smaller bits.
Toss the bacon and pulp bits into a pan containing the rest of the oil. Sauté together with the onion and garlic. Adjust the flavor with pepper.
Brown the ingredients for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Scoop out the mixture with a spoon and stuff them inside the zucchini shells.
Cover the surface with the grated cheddar cheese and spring onion bits. Grill the stuffed zucchini shells over medium heat. Make sure to cover the pan. Leave for 8-10 minutes until the shells are tender enough and cooked well. Remove from the heat and enjoy warm.
