Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Trim off both ends of the zucchinis and create a lengthwise slit down the center of each zucchini.
  3. Sprinkle Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper over the zucchinis, coating both the inside and exterior.
  4. Gently sprinkle half of the chopped fresh mint into the slits of the zucchinis, then insert strips of goat cheese.
  5. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the zucchinis, allowing it to flow into the slits.
  6. Place the stuffed zucchinis in the baking pan, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 10 minutes.
  7. After 10 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until tender.
