Instruktioner

Place rimmed baking sheet in oven and heat to 450°F. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and, using teaspoon, hollow out each zucchini half. Brush cut sides with 1 teaspoon oil, then place, cut sides down, on heated baking sheet. Roast 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in large skillet on medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking up, until no longer pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to bowl.

Add scallions to chorizo and toss to combine.

Fold in Monterey Jack cheese and cilantro. Turn zucchini cut sides up and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide chorizo mixture among zucchini halves (about 1/4 cup per half) and roast until zucchini are just tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
