Ingredients

zucchini

Topping Ingredients:

You can use any kind of toppings you like, depending on what kind of zucchini boats you are making and then top with some kind of cheese to make it bake together. Generally, any kind of pizza or taco toppings will work great. Here are some variations. Mix and match the ingredients you like:

For Zucchini Pizza Boats:

spaghetti sauce
seasoned salt
pepperoni
Italian sausage
onions
bell peppers
black olives
shredded mozzarella cheese
goat cheese (good if you’re dairy free)

For Zucchini Taco Boats:

taco sauce or enchilada sauce
seasoned salt
ground beef, shredded chicken or shredded pork
onions
bell peppers
black olives
shredded mexican blend, cheddar or similar cheese
goat cheese (good if you’re dairy free)

For Artichoke Chicken Zucchini Boats:

Alfredo sauce or other white Italian sauce
seasoned salt
chicken, shredded or pieces.
artichoke pieces
butter
onions
bell peppers
black olives
shredded mozzarella cheese
goat cheese (good if you’re dairy free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Spray a baking pan with oil. Choose a baking pan that will accommodate the amount of zucchini you want to cook.
  3. Slice the ends off of the zucchini.
  4. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise.
  5. Scoop the center with the seeds out of each half to make boat shapes (like canoes), creating a channel for the stuffing ingredients.
  6. Spread the sauce inside of each boat.
  7. Sprinkle with seasoned salt.
  8. Add your desired toppings.
  9. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and everything is cooked through.

Notes

  • Save the zucchini you scraped out of the center of the zucchini boats. You can freeze it and eat it later as-is, add it to any vegetable soup, or make another zucchini recipe like zucchini bread or zucchini cake.
  • If you would like to make stuffed zucchini boats in an air fryer, air fry at 350° for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and everything is cooked through.
