Alright, ready? Here’s the recipe!
Ingredients
- 6 organic zucchini
- 1/2 of a cup of organic spaghetti sauce
- 1/2 of a cup of mozzarella, shredded
- 1/4 of a cup of sliced olives
- 1/4 of a cup of fresh basil, chopped
- 3 oz. of uncured pepperoni, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a shallow baking dish with olive oil.
- Wash the zucchini, and slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out some of the zucchini flesh to make little boats. We used a knife to slice down the sides and a spoon to scoop it out. You won’t need to use a knife if the zucchini is soft. Arrange the zucchini in the prepared pan
- Spoon some spaghetti sauce into each zucchini boat, then top it with mozzarella, olives, basil, and pepperoni. Bake for 20 minutes or until the toppings are cooked and the zucchini is soft. Enjoy!
