Easy zucchini boats filled with seasoned ground beef and cheese, baked until tender.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large zucchinis
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut zucchinis in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds to create a boat shape.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with cooked lentils or quinoa.
  • You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to the meat mixture.
  • Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
