Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Ground Beef
  • 4 Zucchini Medium
  • ½ Cup Onion Chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 1 Cup Marinara Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • ¼ Tsp Salt
  • ¼ Tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 Cup Italian Shredded Cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut off the ends of the zucchini and slice them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the middle part of the zucchini and throw it away.
  • Place the hollow zucchini on a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Cook the ground beef in a pan over medium heat until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain the fat, remove the meat from the pan, and set it aside.
  • In the same pan, cook the onion for 4 minutes until soft. Then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the beef back to the pan with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and marinara sauce. Mix everything well and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Spoon the meat mixture evenly into the zucchini halves. Bake them for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, sprinkle cheese on top of the zucchini and bake for another 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts.
  • Sprinkle parsley on top and enjoy!

Notes

  • Reheat zucchini boats at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
  • Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
