Delicious and hearty stuffed zucchini boats filled with quinoa, marinara, and cheese, perfect for a vegetarian dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to set the stage for baking these delightful boats.
  2. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create ‘boats.’ This step is where the magic begins!
  3. In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa or rice, marinara sauce, diced bell peppers, diced onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed and ready to fill.
  4. Generously fill each zucchini boat with the prepared mixture, packing it in well to ensure a hearty serving in every bite.
  5. Top each filled boat with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  6. Place the filled zucchini boats on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Serve these Zucchini Boats warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Notes

Choose firm zucchini for the best texture. Feel free to add your favorite veggies or proteins to the filling.
