Zucchini pizza boats are stuffed zucchinis filled with pizza sauce, melted cheese, and mini pepperoni. They’re a delicious way to enjoy a low-carb pizza night, and are flavorful enough to even be popular with people who don’t always love eating vegetables!

Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium zucchini
  • Oil for oiling the pan
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups freshly shredded pizza mozzarella
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C).
  • Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the inner flesh of the zucchini, leaving a wall all the way around that’s 1/4” - 1/3” thick.
  • Lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange the zucchini on the baking sheet, cut side up. Sprinkle the zucchini with the kosher salt.
  • Spoon approximately 1 heaping Tablespoon of pizza sauce into each zucchini half. Sprinkle each zucchini half with mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, and mini pepperoni.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes (or until the cheese is hot and bubbly, and the zucchini is tender). Turn the oven to broil, and broil for 2 minutes (or until the cheese is just starting to turn golden brown).
