VEGAN STUFFED ZUCCHINI
Enjoy this Vegan Stuffed Zucchini delight. Crisp-tender zucchini halves are generously filled with a flavorful blend of spicy black beans, corn, and zesty spices, then topped with a creamy, tangy tahini sauce for a satisfying and plant-based meal.
TENDER STUFFED ZUCCHINI
The zucchini provides a tender, slightly sweet base for the flavorful filling. The black beans offer a hearty, earthy texture and a subtle smoky taste, while the corn adds a burst of juicy sweetness and a touch of crunch. The blend of savory spices infuses the filling with warmth and depth.
CREAMY TAHINI SAUCE
The tahini sauce is a creamy and tangy topping that perfectly complements the savory stuffed zucchini. Its rich, nutty flavor adds a depth of taste while the bright acidity from lemon juice balances the richness of the black beans and corn.
