Quick and easy zucchini boats

Quick and easy zucchini boats – a healthy meal or snack that will be ready in just 5 minutes. Endless options for toppings and an excellent way to use your zucchini harvest!

Zucchini is everywhere right now. We always need more easy recipes to use up zucchini!

Traditional zucchini “boats” actually scoop out the inside of the zucchini, and stuff it with toppings.

I think just slicing the zucchini works just fine for a couple toppings, but you may want to do the scoop method if you’re really loading it up. 

I made a simple tomato and cheese version. Instead of cutting the zucchini in half, the one I had seemed thick enough to get 4 slices out of it, so that’s what I did.

You can add a little honey first if you’re like me and want it a little sweet!

Then I cut up some mini heirloom tomatoes and added the slices on top.

Cherry tomatoes would work well too.

Of course some shredded cheese (I used an Italian blend) and some dried basil for added flavor.

Because I was running short on time, I popped these in the microwave for a couple minutes, rather than baking.

Can’t get much easier than that!
