What are these KALETTES?
Well, according to our friend Wikipedia, Kalettes (formerly known as Flower Sprouts or Brusselkale) are a hybrid plant brand name for kale sprouts, bred using traditional breeding techniques, they are a cross between kale and brusseles sprouts. Its flower-like florets are open to about two inches in diameter. The plant is touted as being a highly nutritious vegetable that may be eaten as raw or cooked.
The hybrids were debuted by Tozer Seeds in England. "Kalette" is actually a brand name for the vegetable "kale sprouts," which were introduced to the U.K. market in 2010 under the name Flower Sprouts.
Also, a few words about Nutritional Yeast
I think this is one of the best food ingredients that exists in the whole word. It contains full protein, providing all the amino acids that your body cant produce. It is also rich in vitamin B, Iron, Zinc, Selenium, other vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
You will find Unfortified nutritional yeast - meaning that the flakes/powder does not contain any added vitamins or minerals; Fortified nutritional yeast, it contains also other vitamins in order to boost its nutrient content.
You can find it as flakes, granules or powder. It is higly used by vegans. It has a strong flavor, but I find it super delicious.

Method:
1. Preheat the oven.
2. Cut the zucchini in halves and scoop out the middle part with the seeds.
3. Add some salt, pepper and olive oil and put them on a grill, over a tray, and add some water in the tray. Bake them for approximately 30 minutes or until you consider they are 85% done.
4. Meanwhile, cut kalettes, baby tomatoes, onion, garlic and bacon in small pieces.
5. In a pan, heat the olive oil and stir in these ingredients. Let them cook for 4-5 minutes and add some salt and pepper.
6. Cut finely cheese and parsley.
7. Combine the ingredients that you cooked with cheese and parsley. Wait until the zucchini are ready.
8. When zucchini are done, stuff them with the mix. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of the yeast on top.
9. Bake them another 10-15 minutes and when completely ready, you can add the other 1 Tbsp of nutritional yeast.
