1 Prepare the Ingredients
Trim zucchini ends and grate into a mixing bowl. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and stir to combine. Zucchini quantity may vary, but total weight will remain the same. Don't worry; recipe instructions are not impacted.
Halve poblanos lengthwise and seed. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, cut-side down. Spray poblanos with cooking spray. -
2 Roast the Poblanos
Roast in hot oven until poblanos are tender, but not completely cooked, 10-15 minutes.
Don't worry if peppers char a bit; this adds flavor to the dish.While poblanos roast, continue recipe. -
3 Start the Filling
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef to hot, dry pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.
Remove from burner. Transfer to a plate. Drain any excess grease from pan. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean. -
4 Finish the Filling
Drain any excess liquid from zucchini.
Return pan used to cook ground beef to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add zucchini to hot pan and stir occasionally until lightly browned and tender, 3-5 minutes.Remove from burner. Stir in ground beef, butter, marinara sauce, garlic salt, and ricotta until combined. -
5 Finish Poblanos and Finish Dish
After 10-15 minutes, carefully remove poblanos from oven. Flip poblanos cut-side up and distribute filling evenly among halves. Top with mozzarella. Baking sheet and filling will be hot! Use a utensil.
Roast again in hot oven until cheese is melted, 8-10 minutes.If peppers are too large to fill completely, fill 4 halves and roast 3-4 minutes longer. Remaining pepper is yours to use as you please! Carefully remove from oven.Plate dish as pictured on front of card. Bon appétit!
