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.
