If you’re a fan of healthy and flavorful dishes, you’re in for a treat! Zucchini Boats are the perfect way to enjoy a nutritious and tasty meal. These boats are versatile, quick, and can be filled with a variety of ingredients to suit your taste.
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the center of each half, leaving about 1/4-inch of zucchini on the edges. This creates a “boat” shape. You can save the scooped-out flesh for the filling or as a side dish.
While the zucchini is roasting, prepare your filling. If you’re using vegetables, sauté them with garlic in olive oil until softened. For a protein-packed version, you can sauté ground meat or mix in cooked quinoa. Stir in any herbs or spices for added flavor.
Once the zucchini halves have softened, take them out of the oven. Spoon the prepared filling into the hollowed-out centers, pressing gently to pack the filling in.
