Main Ingredients

4 pieces medium zucchinis
1 lb ground beef
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)

Seasoning and Cooking

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
to taste Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Olive oil

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the center to create boats.

Cooking the Filling

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned.
Stir in the marinara sauce and let simmer for a few minutes.

Assembly and Baking

Place the zucchini boats on a baking dish and fill them with the beef mixture.
Top with shredded cheese.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and serve.

Notes

Serve warm; great as a main dish with salad or as a side for grilled meats. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
