Pizza Zucchini Boats

By smclane

Ingredients

• 4 large zucchini, halved lengthwise
• 1 (16-oz.) jar marinara sauce
• 2 c. shredded mozzarella
• 1 c. mini pepperoni
• Chopped fresh basil, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Score zucchini (like you’re dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides into a large bowl.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add zucchini and sauté until tender, 6 to 8 minutes, then pour in marinara.

3. Place hollowed zucchini on a large baking sheet. Spoon on sauce, then top with mozzarella and mini pepperoni. Bake until zucchini is tender and cheese is golden, about 15 minutes.

4. Garnish with basil.
