Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey or beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  5. Add marinara sauce to the skillet and stir to combine.
  6. Place the zucchini boats on a baking sheet.
  7. Spoon the meat mixture evenly into the zucchini boats.
  8. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese over the top of each stuffed zucchini.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  10. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use other ground meats like chicken or lamb.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the meat mixture.
  • For a vegetarian option, use a mixture of cooked quinoa and vegetables instead of meat.
