Cheese Stuffed Zucchini

How to make the best cheese stuffed zucchini boats recipe - This meatless vegetarian dinner is healthy and uses Italian seasoning and a variety of cheeses to make an awesome summer meal. Simple and easy supper is keto, whole 30, and paleo friendly (just leave out the breadcrumbs). Low carb. Baked in the oven.

In my neck of the woods, stuffed vegetables usually involve hamburger, tomato sauce and rice, or crab meat.

Neither of these fillings really thrills me, and I often avoid them.

At the same time, I love veggies, especially when they are fresh from my garden.  I love to make them the focal point of a meal.

A few years ago, I came up with this recipe in response to a glut of zucchini and summer squash from my garden.

This filling is wonderful and would be tasty stuffed inside any number of foods, including bread, tomatoes, other squash, mushrooms, and almost anything else. It’s that good.
