Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large zucchini, halved lengthwise
olive oil cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ red onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh chorizo, casing removed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 large Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon basil pesto
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Scoop flesh out of the zucchini halves using a spoon. Place zucchini halves skin-side up on the baking sheet. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until slightly softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chorizo; cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove zucchini from the oven and turn upright with tongs. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese on top and set aside.
  • Add tomatoes and pesto to the chorizo mixture. Simmer until tomatoes break down, about 10 minutes. Spoon chorizo mixture into the zucchini boats. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Return zucchini to the oven and bake until tender, about 10 minutes more.

I found these zucchini boats to be a bit too oily. I think I would have preferred them if they had been baked instead of fried.

These zucchini boats were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with a little more seasoning.
