How To Make zucchini boats

Step 1

Wash zucchinis and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out insides, thus making a "boat".

Step 2

Coarsely chop zucchini insides, onion, and bell pepper in the food processor. Chop tomatoes and mix together with rest of vegetables.
Step 3

Load your "boats" with vegetable mixture and place in a baking dish that has been slightly drizzled with a small amount of olive oil. Sprinkle the boats with your favorite herbs.
Step 4

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 - 45 minutes. Place cheese on the zucchini boats during the last 5 minutes of baking time.
