About the Event
As many of us are looking for a healthy 2022, our chef Sara will teach us to expand our culinary repertoire. Zucchini Boats are a great way to explore a healthy dish that is both delicious and good for you.
INGREDIENTS
- Vegetables -3 Zucchini (split lenghtwise), 1/2 chopped onion, 2 cloves minced Garlic, 1/2 can Black Beans, 1/2 can chopped Cherry Tomatoes, 1/2 can corn kernels.
- Seasoning options - Chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, black pepper + Kosher Salt.
- Meat Options - Ground Beef or Ground Turkey
- Additions - Olive Oil, Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese, Chopped Cilantro.
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350°. Score zucchini (like you’re dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides, reserving them for later. Place zucchini halves cut side-up into bottom of 9”-x-13” baking dish and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake until zucchini turns bright green and is just beginning to soften, 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and reserved zucchini and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add ground beef, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Cook until beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat.
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, and paprika, then season with salt and pepper. Stir in black beans, cherry tomatoes, and corn.
- Spoon beef mixture into zucchini then top with cheeses. Bake until zucchini is just tender and cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes. Garnish with cilantro before serving.
