Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchinis, halved and scooped out
- 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup marinara sauce (no added sugar)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the center to create “boats.” Place them in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season with a little salt and pepper.
- Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, warm a bit of olive oil. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the ground meat, cooking until browned. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in 1/2 cup of marinara sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until well combined.
- Fill the Zucchini: Spoon the meat mixture into each zucchini boat, filling generously. Drizzle the remaining marinara sauce over the top of each filled zucchini.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, and enjoy warm!
