Zucchini Pizza Boats

I saw this recipe floating around the internet last week and thought it looked really yummy, so I decided to give it a try.  It did NOT disappoint!  It tasted as good as it looks, unless it doesn't look good to you, and in that case it tasted BETTER!  I wasn't sure everyone in my family would like zucchini as the "crust" of this pizza, but EVERY single person liked it!  Win!  Another winning aspect of this recipe is that prep time is very short and bake time is short.  If you had all the ingredients ready to go, this could be a meal in 30 minutes!

Start by slicing several washed zucchini down the middle length-wise.  Mix one T olive oil with minced garlic and brush over the zucchini.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Then top with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese (optional).




Layer pepperoni slices on the very top.  I used bigger slices, but you can use smaller ones, too.


Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes, longer if you want crunchier zucchini, and a bit less if you like softer zucchini.



When done cooking, sprinkle oregano on the top, let cool and serve.  YUM!

This was well liked by all and I will definitely make it again.
