- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly. Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh.
- Drizzle the hollowed zucchini halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange them cut-side up on the baking sheet.

- Add the reserved zucchini flesh to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in quartered cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, salt, and pepper. Cook until the tomatoes begin to soften.
- Remove from heat and stir in crumbled feta, oregano, cumin, parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Fill each zucchini half with the mixture, adding breadcrumbs if desired.
- Drizzle filled zucchini with olive oil and bake for 25–30 minutes until tender and tops are golden brown.
