*Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

How to Make Lasagna Stuffed Zucchini Boats

Preheat oven to 375F.

Cut each zucchini in half length-wise.

Scoop out the centers with a spoon.  This will not be used in this recipe, but you can use to make my Chocolate Zucchini Muffins!

In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, parmesan, salt, pepper and most of the basil (reserving a little for garnish).

Drizzle the bottom of a glass or ceramic baking dish with olive oil.

Add some of the cheese mixture into eat zucchini half.

Then top with the meat sauce.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the zucchini reaches your desired tenderness. Mine took exactly 25 minutes, I prefer mine slightly firm.

Remove from the oven and increase the temperature to 450F. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tops of each zucchini boat and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

What are Zucchini Boats?

They are simply zucchini squash that have been split down the middle length wise, culled out in the middle and loaded up with any of your favorite fillings.

Can I Freeze Keto Stuffed Zucchini Boats?

You certainly can. Place the zucchini boats in a freezer safe container in a single layer. Put a piece of parchment paper on top of them before adding another layer. This prevents them from stick together while freezing.

How to Reheat Keto Zucchini Boats?

It is recommended that you reheat these stuffed zucchini in a preheated oven. The microwave makes them a little too soft and mushy.
