Ingredients

  • 4 Vidalia or sweet onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 medium zucchini, shredded
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
  • 3 tablespoons Progresso™ plain dry bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped toasted pine nuts
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Make With
Progresso Breadcrumbs

Steps

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a small baking pan with foil.
  • 2
    Cut 1/2” off the top of each onion; slightly trim the bottoms so that the onions stand upright. Place the onions, cut side up, in the prepared baking pan and coat with cooking spray. Bake for 1 hour, or until soft. Set aside for 15 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
  • 3
    Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • 4
    Remove and discard the onion peels. Using a spoon, scoop out the onion centers, leaving a 1/2” shell. Chop the centers and reserve 1 cup for the stuffing; save the remainder for another use.
  • 5
    Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini, garlic, thyme, basil, and the 1 cup chopped onions. Cook for 6 minutes, or until the zucchini is softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and stir in the bread crumbs, pine nuts, 2 1/2 tablespoons of the cheese, salt, and pepper.
  • 6
    Divide the filling among the onion shells. Place the onion shells in the same baking pan and top with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cheese.
  • 7
    Bake for 20 minute, or until golden.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Onions along with garlic, leeks and scallions provide phytonutrients called allyl sulfides. They add loads of flavor for just a few calories.
