1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Crush All-Bran® Flakes cereal. Set aside.

3. In medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add celery, green pepper, onions garlic, and reserved, chopped zucchini flesh. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and stir in tomato, oregano, pepper, crushed All-Bran® Flakes cereal, bread crumbs and mozzarella.

4. Divide mixture evenly amongst hollowed out zucchini shells. Recipe can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated for up to 12 hours.

5. Spoon tomato sauce down the centre of each zucchini. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until zucchinis are tender, filling is hot and top is golden brown.
