Zucchini Pizza Boats

I’m not sure about you, but I struggle with coming up with ideas for dinner. There are a lot of easy ideas that are unhealthy and a lot of great healthy ideas that have 20 steps and who has time for that??

This recipe was an awesome find from Slenderkitchen.com and I have already made it twice this summer! Also, my husband and father-in-law both approved, so that was a big win for me!

Here are the steps and the recipe is below!

Zucchini Pizza Boats

Ingredients:

-4 zucchinis, each cut in half

-1 tsp. oregano

-salt and pepper

-1/2 cup marinara sauce

-1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup turkey pepperoni (or whatever kind you prefer), chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Cut the zucchinis in half. Scoop out the inside of the zucchini using a spoon. This step isn’t necessary but I find they turn out better this way.
  3. Sprinkle the zucchini halves with oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes.
  5. Carefully remove from oven. Spread about 1 Tbsp. of sauce on each half and then sprinkle on 2 Tbsp. of cheese per half. Add pepperoni or other toppings.
  6. Return to oven for 15-20 minutes until zucchini is tender and cheese is melted!
