Ingredients

6 medium zucchinis
1 tbsp olive oil or just enough to coat baking sheet
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup pizza sauce see Hunger Task Force's "Easy Pizza Sauce" recipe
2 cups shredded cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup assorted, diced veggies (mushrooms, peppers, black or green olives, onions, spinach, etc.)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Cut each zucchini in half. Use a spoon to scoop out the inside of the zucchini to leave a wall all the way around that’s less than 1-inch thick.
Lightly oil a baking sheet. Arrange the zucchini on the baking sheet cut side up. Sprinkle the zucchini with the kosher salt.
Spoon 1 tbsp of pizza sauce into each zucchini half. Sprinkle each zucchini half with mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese and diced veggies.
Bake for about 17 minutes or until the cheese is hot and bubbly and the zucchini is tender.

Notes

Storage: Before baking, can store prepped zucchini in the fridge for up to 24 hours. After baking, can store cooled, assembled and baked zucchini boats in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
