Zucchini Boats

I discovered this recipe while browsing on Pinterest. If you have never been to pinterest, I highly recommend you check it out, BUT only if you have time to kill. If you are looking for recipes, they’ve got them while not all of them are healthy, they still look good. In addition to recipes, they have DIY projects, room decor, style decor, travel, architecture, literature, prints, the list goes on and on. “What do you do with these things?” you say. You pin them to a board that you can go back and look at later. Very similar to an inspiration board but online.

Anyway, I came across this recipe while browsing one day and thought, “that sounds great but I’d leave out the bread crumbs.” Here is the original recipe and below you will find my changes. This is super easy and always tastes great! Enjoy!

Zucchini Boats

Zucchini

Grape tomatoes

Grated Parmesan cheese

Mozzarella or Fontina cheese

Fresh basil

Salt and Pepper

Olive oil

Garlic

Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and trim a little off the bottom so it sits still in a baking dish

Scoop out the center where the seeds are with a spoon

Brush the surface with a mixture of crushed garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper

Arrange halved grape tomatoes into the grooves, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes

Remove and place diced fontina or mozzarella between the tomatoes, place them back in, but now under the broiler until golden and bubbling

Remove and drizzle with olive oil and fresh chopped basil.
