Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Stuffed Vegan Zucchini Boats.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Next, take your fresh zucchini and slice it in half lengthwise, gently scooping out the seeds while leaving a nice border around the edges.
Step 3
Place the zucchini halves, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet, ready to soak up all the delicious flavors.
Step 4
Pop the zucchini into the oven and let it bake for about 15 minutes, allowing it to soften just a bit.
Step 5
While the zucchini is baking, grab a bowl and mix together some chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 6
Stir everything together until well combined and set this vibrant mixture aside to let the flavors meld.
Step 7
After 15 minutes, take the zucchini out of the oven and carefully fill each half with about a tablespoon of hummus, making sure it stays within the borders.
Step 8
Return the stuffed zucchini to the oven for another 10 minutes, letting the hummus warm up and blend with the zucchini.
Step 9
Once the time is up, remove the zucchini from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 10
Finally, top each half with your delicious tomato mixture and serve.
Step 11
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s not only healthy but also bursting with flavor!.
