QUINOA MIXTURE

In a mixing bowl, combine the pre-cooked quinoa, garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, grape tomatoes, chopped red onion, chickpeas, sliced Greek-style olives and half of the crumbled feta cheese.

ZUCCHINI PREPARATION

Using a spoon or a melon baller, scoop out the flesh from the zucchini halves to create 'boats'. Reserve the scooped flesh for another use.

Place the zucchini boats in the lined baking dish. Fill each boat evenly with the quinoa mixture, then sprinkle the remaining feta cheese on top.

In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and olive oil. Drizzle this over the zucchini boats. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.

SERVING

Garnish the baked zucchini boats with fresh basil leaves before serving.
