Instructions

  1. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees F. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and, using a teaspoon, hollow out the zucchini.

  2. Brush the cut side with 1 tsp oil and place on the heated baking sheet, cut-side down. Roast for 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss together the corn, scallions, chile, remaining teaspoon oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Fold in the herbs, then the Asiago.

  4. Turn the zucchini cut-side up and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Divide the corn mix along the zucchini halves (about 1/4 cup each) and continue roasting until the zucchini and corn are just tender, 10 to 12 minutes more.

Why this Corn and Herb-Stuffed Zucchini works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Corn and Herb-Stuffed Zucchini that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
