Ingredients
2 large zucchini
1 pound ground beef
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup shredded Havarti cheese with jalapeno or Havarti cheese
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise; cut a thin slice from the bottoms so they sit flat. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-in. shells.
In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium heat, cook beef and garlic until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in Havarti cheese, 1/2 cup feta cheese, basil, salt and pepper.
Preheat air fryer to 350°. Fill zucchini with meat mixture. Place in greased air fryer. Cook 8 minutes. Top with remaining 1/4 cup feta; cook until zucchini is tender and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
