That potato-and-cheese “hoagie” just got smarter.
Social media recently crowned a cheese-stuffed sweet potato as the viral teacher lunch we all need, and, yes, it’s solid. But we wanted to also steer this trend into greener waters.
Enter: the cheese-stuffed zucchini boat. Melty, cozy, slightly ridiculous, it too requires just two ingredients … cheese and a zucchini. The recipe itself is very flexible, so go crazy with several varieties of fromage and even try nuking it in the air fryer. Anything goes with this flavor vessel.
Cheese-Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp oregano, dried
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create boats.
- In a bowl, mix the cheeses along with the parsley and oregano. Season with black pepper.
- Stuff each zucchini boat evenly with the cheese mixture.
- Arrange the stuffed zucchinis on a baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese has melted and is lightly golden.
- Allow the zucchini boats to rest for a few minutes before serving.
