Zucchini Boats

olive oil (divided)

onion

garlic (minced)

pork (see notes)

Italian seasoning

basil

salt

black pepper

capers

marinara sauce (or tomato sauce)

red pepper flakes (optional)

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a large 13x9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Prepare the zucchini: Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the fleshy seed-filled center from each zucchini half. Leave about 1/4-inch on all sides.

Drizzle the zucchini boats with approximately 1 tablespoon olive oil and transfer to the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.

As the zucchini bakes heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute, stirring often.

Add the ground sausage, breaking it apart into smaller pieces as it cooks. When the sausage is nearly cooked, season it with Italian seasoning, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Add the capers and marinara sauce. Mix well to combine and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring as needed.

Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan cheese.

Divide the prepared sausage mixture among the zucchini boats and top each zucchini boat with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the oven until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted - about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired.

This stuffed zucchini boats recipe has a hearty filling topped with gooey cheese. It's a tasty dinner idea that pleases everyone!

Olive oil, for rubbing

kosher salt, divided

oregano, divided

15-ounces fire roasted crushed tomatoes**

fennel seeds

milk mozzarella cheese

Italian seasoned panko (or plain panko; omit

Cut off the stem ends of the zucchini. Cut them each in half lengthwise and scoop out the insides with a spoon: you&#8217;ll want a thin edge around the outside of the boat. (Discard the pulp, or use it in smoothies or for another purpose.) Place the boats on a baking sheet and rub each with a bit of olive oil. Then sprinkle all 8 boats with a heaping 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon oregano and fresh ground black pepper, divided between the boats. 

Place the sausage in a medium skillet and cook according to the package instructions, 2 to 3 minutes for plant-based and 6 to 7 for regular sausage (for regular sausage, drain any excess fat after cooking). Add the garlic to the pan with the sausage and cook 30 seconds, then add the tomatoes, fennel seed, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Heat for 1 minute until warmed through. 

Scoop the filling into the zucchini boats. Top with the mozzarella cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Then sprinkle with the panko. 

Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes before serving. Leftovers store up to 3 days refrigerated. 

OMG!  These Zucchini Boats are so good.  We really enjoyed them. Thank you for sharing.

I completely forgot to add the tomatoes to the sausage before filling the zucchini 🤦‍♀️ But they were delicious! My 12 year old said the spices were very yummy, and he's not an adventurous eater. I did notice that the tomato is necessary to offset the bold flavor of fennel, without them it overpowers the sausage, but next time I'll add it for sure!
