Zucchini Boats

Zucchini Boats

Tonight we had zucchini boats made with tomatoes fresh from the garden, and zucchinis that I bought at the farmer’s market last week.

Ingredients:

2 cups of chopped tomatoes

4 zucchinis with ends trimmed

garlic powder

1/2 tbsp thyme

1/2 tbsp oregano

salt

pepper

1/2 cup grated cheese

preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
cut the zucchini length-wise and use a small spoon to hollow out the flesh.
Place the zucchinis on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with garlic powder
chop the insides of the zucchinis into small pieces – about the same size as the tomatoes
heat a small amount of oil in a medium skillet
add the tomatoes, chopped zucchini, salt, and pepper to the hot pan and let cook until soft and liquid-y
add the herbs to the pan. You can use dried or fresh.
spoon the mixture into the prepared “boats”
cover with grated cheese, and place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and brown on the edges

These guys are yummy, warm, and filling. They come together fast, and for very little money and effort. Definitely a go-to weeknight meal!!
