Zucchini & Kale Bites

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400F.

Step 5: In a medium bowl, mix the mayo, half of the kale mixture, half of the cheese and 1 tablespoon of the parsley.

Step 6: Cover each half of zucchini with a thin layer of the mixture and top with remaining cheese.

Step 7: Drizzle lightly with olive oil, if using and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and starts to brown.
