These are a big family favorite lunch! In order for this to be a dinner for my family I would have to make entirely too many. They are a nice veggie lunch or even a side dish.
ingredients
6 Zucchini
Olive oil for brushing
Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic powder
36 Grape tomatoes
Breadcrumbs, plain or seasoned (optional)
2 cups of your favorite Cheese (ie Mozzarella, Cheddar, etc)
directions
Preheat oven to 350
Slice Zucchini in half length wise
Using a regular spoon, scoop out seeds same as you would the spaghetti squash, they now look like boats http://crazylittlethingcalledfamily.blogspot.com/2014/12/italian-sausage-enchilada-spaghetti.html
Place zucchini boats on a baking dish with a lip, or another dish underneath to catch the oil drippings
put a good dollop of olive oil in a small bowl, brush oil over zucchini
Lightly sprinkle zucchini with garlic powder, salt, and pepper
Slice tomatoes in half and place inside the hollowed out centers of zucchini
take a pinch of bread crumbs and sprinkle across zucchini and tomatoes. The bread crumbs really do add a nice something extra but are optional
Bake for 30 minutes. Zucchini will be soft but still firm enough to hold shape
Add your favorite cheese. I prefer Mozzarella while my husband loves Cheddar.
Put back in the oven under the Broiler for a few minutes while the cheese melts and browns. You do need to let it cool for a few minutes before eating or risk burning yourself good! lol
