Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Main Dish Recipe

Do you have an endless supply of Zucchini from your garden? These Stuffed Zucchini Boats are an easy zucchini recipe that is light, healthy and full of flavor.

As a child I never realized how convenient having a garden in our back yard was or how much work it was for my parents. Their garden was at least 35 x 20, and was filled with tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, pumpkins, and beans.   My favorite part was always the strawberries, and the bread & butter pickles that we would get from canning. I always planned to have a big garden once I bought my own house and still do, but while that is in the works we decided to give these Earthboxes a try.

Can you grow Zucchini in an Earthbox?

Our first year container garden was a success. I was surprised at how many veggies we were able to grow with just three small containers.  The only problem was that I ended up zucchini every few days. I was overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do with them all. I never really had zucchini growing up except for fried zucchini and we were getting tired of them svegetable kabobs.

In a search for zucchini recipes I came up with a few ideas for zucchini boats. These zucchini boats have become a favorite, they’re light, healthy and delicious. You can easily substitute ingredients with what you have on hand to make different versions of them. This time I baked them with a few vegetables that we had in our panty – red potatoes, onion, tomatoes and a little garlic, basil and cheese.

We’ve also made a similar zucchini recipe except we stuffed them with a chicken parm mixture. If you’ve ever made stuffed peppers, you can have stuffed zucchini instead.

Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and most of the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch. Save the flesh to use at a later time. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet, cut side down, roast for 10 minutes.
