Vegan Zucchini Pizza Boats Recipe: Tasty, Healthy and Easy to Make!

To prepare this mouthwatering vegan delight, you’ll need the following:

1 cup zucchinis
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/4 cup pizza seasoning
1/2 cup dairy-free mozzarella shreds
1/4 cup chopped bell peppers
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 onion small, chopped
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
12 ounces plant-based ground beef (or 1.5 cups cooked lentils)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon fennel
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1.5 cups tomato sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 zucchinis
1 cup vegan mozzarella, store-bought or homemade

Prepare Zucchini Pizza Boats for a Delicious Vegan Feast

Add coconut oil to a deep skillet, followed by sautéed onions and minced garlic, allowing the aromatic trio to meld harmoniously together. Saute the onions over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, or until they reach a tender, translucent state.
The mixture of plant-based ground, Italian seasoning, fennel, sea salt, and pepper is added. Brown the ground meat in small chunks, breaking them apart as they cook, for a total of 5-10 minutes or until lightly toasted. With tomato sauce and tomato paste added, stir until well combined.
Make homemade vegan mozzarella. Or, grate store-bought plant-based cheese.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare zucchinis by splitting them lengthwise and carefully removing the central pulp to create hollow vessels, ideal for serving flavorful fillings. Arrange scoopings of plant-based ground beef into boats, and generously sprinkle or drizzle with melted cheese. Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature, then bake the zucchini boats for 25-30 minutes, or until they reach a golden brown hue and emit a savory aroma, indicating their tender doneness.
