Step-By-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash zucchinis, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out seeds to create boats. Sprinkle with salt and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Pat the insides dry with a clean paper towel to prevent sogginess.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté for 3-4 minutes until onion is translucent.
- Stir in reserved zucchini flesh, marinara sauce, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Arrange hollowed zucchini in a baking dish and fill with beef mixture, topping with more marinara if desired.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then remove and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake for another 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
- Let zucchini boats rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve on plates or a serving platter, garnished with fresh herbs or extra cheese if desired.
