A low-carb recipe for stuffed zucchini boats with ground beef, perfect for using garden zucchini.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create a boat shape.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Place the zucchini boats on a baking sheet. Spoon the ground beef mixture into the zucchini boats.
  7. Top each stuffed zucchini boat with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the ground beef mixture.
  • For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
