I have NOT tried these yet but why wouldn't they be good? Summer squash takes on the flavor of what it's cooked with and IMO needs flavor added. I make pizza using high fiber low carb burrito wraps (link far below) that I buy at the supermarket so why not these? I absolutely intend to try them.
ZUCCHINI PIZZA BOATS
Make my zucchini pizza boats when those pizza cravings hit! This healthy, cheesy, and easy zucchini pizza recipe is ready in just 30 minutes.
AUTHOR: Maya Krampf from Wholesome Yum
INGREDIENTS
4 medium Zucchini (or yellow summer squash)
1 tbsp Olive oil
1/4 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
16 tbsp Marinara sauce
1/3 cup Mini pepperoni slices
1 1/3 cup Mozzarella cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the zucchini lengthwise. Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out some of the centers of the zucchini to make wells.
Place the zucchini onto the baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
Roast the zucchini in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until soft.
When the zucchini are done roasting, use paper towels to pat any moisture from the wells.
Spread 2 tablespoons (29.5 milliliters) of marinara inside each zucchini boat. Then top with mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni slices.
Bake for 5 minutes. Then, broil for about 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and browned.
TOPPING VARIATIONS
Just like a regular pizza, you can easily customize zucchini pizza with different sauces and toppings. Here are some ideas to try:
Veggie – Load them up with bell peppers, oven-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, and olives. Note that the veggies won’t soften much because the baking time is so brief, so you can pre-cook them first if you want them more tender.
Meat Lover’s – Add some cooked Italian sausage, ham, and bacon along with the pepperoni.
Hawaiian – One of my faves! Top your zucchini pizza boats with Canadian bacon and pineapple tidbits.
Buffalo Chicken – Spread some buffalo sauce, add shredded chicken (Instant Pot chicken breast is my go-to quick method for it), and top with a sprinkle of blue cheese or ranch dressing. Or make my buffalo chicken zucchini boats instead.
Sauce Swap – One of my kids isn’t a fan of tomato-based sauces, so I make hers with Alfredo sauce. You can also use my basil pesto sauce.
