Zucchini Pizza Boats

Ingredients

  • 6 large zucchini
  • salt + pepper
  • 1 cup tomato pasta sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese, such as Daiya vegan, OR nutritional yeast
  • optional 1/2 cup crumbled tempeh
  • optional olive oil
  • optional dried basil or oregano

Preparation

Step 1

Cut zucchini in half, lengthwise. Then cut in half, width-wise. Scoop out the centers with a spoon, but don’t go too far down. Preheat oven to 420 F, and line a baking sheet with parchment. If desired, rub the zucchini with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place hollowed-sides up on the baking sheet, spoon in tomato sauce (about 1 1/2 tbsp each). Sprinkle on cheese or nutritional yeast. You can also sprinkle on a little dried basil or oregano if desired. Bake 10-20 minutes – time will vary, as some zucchini are much more watery than others. Serve while hot.
