Beef Zucchini Boats
Zucchini boats make a delicious diner! The key is to find zucchinis that are the right size for your glass cookware. Make up a batch of these on a Sunday afternoon and ration them to enjoy all week!
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchinis
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce, divided
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- optional toppings: fresh basil, nutritional yeast, red pepper flakes…
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour 1/2 cup pasta sauce into a large glass baking dish and set aside.
- Make the zucchini boats. Cut the bottom and top off the zucchini and then cut in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, hollow out the center of the zucchini halves, leaving about 1/4-1/2 inch shell. Place flesh side up in your glass baking dish.
- Place a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once it gets hot, about 30 seconds, add in ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Sauté 4-5 minutes until browned. Add in diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and 1 cup pasta sauce. Stir to combine and remove from heat once incorporated.
- Stuff the zucchini boats with the beef dividing it up equally, about 1/2 cup per each boat. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes until zucchini is cooked through but still has some firmness. Top with optional toppings and enjoy!
