Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  • Cut off stem top and bottom bit of zucchini. Cut zucchini in half length-wise. Scoop out the inside of the zucchini halves to make zucchini boats.
  • Heat avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is warm, add zucchini meat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned (about 8–10 minutes). Add Tomato Basil Marinara to skillet, and stir to combine. Turn heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Place the zucchini halves, boat side up, in an oven-safe casserole dish. Brush with 1 teaspoon avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper. Fill zucchini boats with meat mixture until reasonably full (you may have a little filling leftover).
  • Bake in oven for 25 minutes. Remove and garnish with parsley.
