Keto Zucchini Boats

 


When you’re first starting the keto diet, it can be a bit overwhelming figuring out what to eat and finding easy recipes that the whole family can eat.

That’s why I love ground beef stuffed zucchini boats — it is an easy recipe with lots of nutritious veggies, ready in about 30 minutes, and it is a comfort food that even kids will love!



The best recipe is Italian flavored, but I’ll also show you a quick twist to make these into Pizza Zucchini Boats too!



Ground beef is one of the most versatile ingredients because you can use it so many ways!

  • 3 zucchini halved

  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 onion chopped
  • 1 cup keto marinara sauce 

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté ground beef until it starts to brown. Add seasoning and chopped onions and cook until onions are translucent.
  3. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the middle containing seeds so that you have long hollow zucchini boats.
  4. Fill your zucchini boats with meat sauce and top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Optional: To make pizza zucchini boats, top with pepperoni and crushed red pepper.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until zucchini is tender.
