Zucchini Pizza Boats

Serves 4

4 medium sized zucchini

1 - 24oz jar of marinara sauce

4 oz pepperoni, roughly chopped

1 - 2.25 oz can sliced black olives

1 tablespoon dried basil

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 log sliced fresh mozzarella, half roughly chopped, half quartered

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 450F.

Line a baking tray with aluminum foil, and grease lightly.

In a bowl, combine the marinara sauce, pepperoni, olives, herbs, and the roughly chopped mozzarella. Mix well.

Trim the ends off the zucchini and cut in half lengthwise. Use a melon baller to scoop out the center of the zucchini, making room for the filling. You can save the zucchini balls for another use. Place on the prepared baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.

Fill the zucchini with the pizza mixture until all of the mixture has been used - they’ll be pretty full! Top with the quartered mozzarella and bake for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
