Zucchini Pizza Boats step by step

1. Wash, cut off ends, then cut down the middle.
2. With a brush put Olive oil on them.
3. Add,Salt,pepper,garlic powder do each one to taste.
4. Bake or grill. bake - 450 for 20 - 30 mins till the zucchini is soft this would be good grilled too. While it’s cooking cut pepperoni in half and cut mushrooms in small pieces and any other veggies you have. I went easy and only used mushrooms. (Can add meat, sausage, bacon, Canada bacon, pineapple,make it all meat, all cheese whatever you like).
5. After the zucchini is cooked let cool for 10 mins or so then add the Pizza sauce,cheese mushrooms, pepperoni.
6. Put back in oven or grill till cheese is melted and mushroom are cooked about 10 mins at 350 (keep an eye on it).
7. I used my toaster oven for this... but think this would be so much better on the grill or in a smoker (it is winter when I made this).
8. Notes - you can use whatever cheese and any veggies just make sure you cut them up small to fit on the zucchini (this is the cheese I used it’s my favorite).

Spread each zucchini boat with pizza sauce, then top with cheese and toppings. I love these zucchini pizza boats because you can make the toppings very similar to how you would your fave pizza! Zucchini pizza boats are perfect to enjoy if you're following a ketogenic diet. They are low carb and filled with protein from the sausage and mozzarella cheese. Zucchini are a keto friendly vegetable because they are grown above ground.
