These stuffed zucchini boats are perfect no matter your vibe — hate cooking, busy mom, or stuck in an office for a 9 to 5. This is an easy recipe for weeknight dinners, simple and high in protein.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh to create 'boats' — place them cut side up on a baking dish. Brush the zucchini boats with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bake zucchini for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a pan with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the crushed tomatoes to the cooked meat mixture. Spoon the meat mixture into the baked zucchini boats. In a small bowl, combine the Italian breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese, then sprinkle this mixture over the filled boats. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
