Archive for the ‘Zucchini Boats’ Category

This came from my friend Ashley.  Our daughter ate them at her house and I HAD to get the recipe!  Ashley uses onion but I find that I can skip that step. (I’m all for skipping a step!)

Ingredients:

At least 4 zucchini

 Vigo Italian breadcrumbs

2 or more garlic cloves

olive oil

romano cheese

Wash zucchini and cut in half (in the short middle)  and then in half again but longways.  You will now have 4 pieces per 1 zucchini.  Take a teaspoon and scoop out the insides leaving the skin with a bit of zucchini in so it looks a little like a boat, but a kind of flat boat…

Put all of these boats on a foiled,  olive oil sprayed pan or cookie sheet.  Spray boats with olive oil spray.Put in a 350 oven. Chop up insides of zucchini (the part you scooped out) and put in pan, stovetop, with some olive oil and pressed garlic.  Saute on med high and add some of the breadcrumbs to make it a little like stuffing.  Add more olive oil if needed and, if you wish, a little romano cheese, freshly grated.  Should be ready in 2 minutes.  Pull boats out of oven and turn oven to 450.  Stuff each boat with the stuffing and put back in hot oven until browned, 20 minutes or so.  May take a little longer , depending on your oven.  If 450 seems too hot, go to 400.
