Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 medium zucchini
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil (or water, if oil-free)
1 small/medium onion (chopped)
2-3 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 small bell pepper (chopped)
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas ((one 15 oz can, drained and rinsed))
1 heaped tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp hot sauce (or more to taste)
4-6 tbsp plant-based milk
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Sea salt, ground pepper, and chili powder (to taste)
Fresh herbs (to garnish)
1 batch vegan cheese sauce (or 7 oz (200 g) store-bought vegan cheese)

Steps:

  • Cut the zucchini in half (lengthwise) and scoop out about 2/3 of the flesh leaving a 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick border around the skin. Check the step-by-step photos above in the blog post.
  • Chop the scooped out zucchini with a large knife and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for about 4 minutes.
  • Add garlic, bell pepper, zucchini flesh, all spices, soy sauce, rice vinegar, tomato paste, hot sauce, and plant-based milk. Put a lid on the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the vegan cheese sauce or use store-bought vegan cheese.
  • At the same time, preheat oven to 410 degrees Fahrenheit (210 degrees Celsius) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add chickpeas to the skillet and cook for a few more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more salt/pepper/spices to taste.
  • Stuff each zucchini half with the chickpea mixture.
  • Add vegan cheese on top and bake for 20-25 minutes in the oven. Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!

VEGAN ZUCCHINI BOATS



Vegan Zucchini Boats image

These vegan bruschetta-stuffed zucchini boats are not only low-carb, they are delicious! So easy to make, these can be an appetizer, main dish, side dish, or an afternoon snack! They can be served as an entire half or you can cut into 2-inch bites to serve as appetizers. I like to make them with pasta as a low-carb replacement for garlic bread. They will keep in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. Make sure to store in an airtight container.

Time 45m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large zucchini
4 large Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste
½ teaspoon olive oil
½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons hummus, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, making sure to leave the border intact. Place skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • While zucchini bakes, mix tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove zucchini from the oven; leave the oven on. Carefully stuff each zucchini half with about 1 tablespoon of hummus; you want the hummus to be no more than 3/4 to the top.
  • Continue to bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Place tomato mixture on top and serve.

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and set out a baking dish large enough to hold your halved zucchinis (as original recipe is written, a 9×13 should be sufficient — or use a parchment-lined baking sheet).
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise and use a spoon or measuring spoon to scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh (enough to comfortably fit ~1/2 cup of sauce and vegan sausage).
  • Spray or brush the zucchini with a bit of oil (just enough to lightly coat all sides), and season each with salt, garlic powder, and red pepper flake.
  • Heat a large skillet (we prefer cast iron) over medium-high heat. Once hot, lay the zucchini cut-side down (only as many as will fit comfortably at once), and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges appear browned. This will create more flavor and start to help soften the zucchini before baking. Once all zucchini have been seared (on the cut side), transfer to your baking dish cut-side up.
