Chef’s knife
Parchment paper

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Halve the zucchini lengthwise, scoop out the centers to make 1/4-inch-thick boats, chop 1 cup of the scooped zucchini centers, halve the tomatoes, mince the garlic, chop the dill, crumble the feta, and zest and juice the lemon.

Use a stable cutting board when halving and scooping the zucchini, and keep the knife blade angled away from your fingers.
