Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Scoop the seeds from the middle of each courgette half with a teaspoon so that you have 16 'boats'. Put in one large or two smaller ovenproof dishes and season. Mix together the tomatoes, garlic, chilli and rosemary with a slug of olive oil and season.
  2. Pile the mixture into the courgettes then cover the dishes with foil. Bake for 30 minutes or until tender, then remove the foil and scatter the breadcrumb mix over. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for another 20 minutes until golden and crisp.

    We all loved this! Being a plonker, though, I didn't read the recipe properly and mixed the breadcrumbs in with the other ingredients at the beginning. Still worked!

    Served as a side dish at a barbque. Were so good that they finished in a few minutes. Next time will do more.

    I already make a similar recipe with mushrooms instead of tomatoes and thyme (fresh or dried) instead of rosemary, which can be topped with any good grated cheddar cheese - delicious.

    This is one of my favourite current recipes. It works really well with marrow too - I just cut that into chunks (think big polo's!) scoop out the middle and bake it in the same way, it looks fantastic and it's just as tasty.

    This is a great recipe. I regularly make it, either for lunch, or a side with fish. Really tasty and makes courgettes a bit more interesting, especially when you have loads and have to be inventive!

    Perfect mid-week meal, all the family loved it, and it can be easily altered to fit fussy eaters - swap the parmesan for mozzarella, cheddar or any cheese, add mushrooms, different herbs... Yum :)

    In this recipe it is unclear if you use the scooped out courgette or discard it - someone please clarify - thanks

    Carolyn, I would suggest that you only scoop out the seeds leaving the flesh still in the boats. If using say a marrow you can chop the flesh and mix with the other ingredients. Hope this helps.

    I hoped this would be the recipe which converted me to liking courgettes, rather than just tolerating them: sadly, although the filling was nice, the courgettes still just tased of courgette (rather than taking on any of the other flavours). Maybe I'll have to accept that courgettes just aren't my thing!

    We love this recipe.. Really adds something to the courgettes and makes a side dish a bit special. Have made it twice this week already!

    We've gone from a courgette glut to not being able to grow them quickly enough after tasting this recipe. Delicious. Missed out the breadcrumbs for gluten free and fine with just the cheese sprinkled on. My husband keeps asking me to make these - can't believe we both love courgette so much thanks to this recipe! (Also love the courgette carbonara recipe)

    Made this with our first courgette harvest and it was yummy! I added extra garlic, used tinned toms and extra chilli. The only thing I would change is that I would make extra topping with breadcrumbs and parmesan. I can't wait for my next harvest
