How To Make zucchini boats

  • 1
    Cut the zucchinis down the middle (the long way) and scoop out about 2/3 of the meat. This should create the "boat" so that future ingredients will be cradled in the zucchini. Put all parts of the zucchini aside.
  • 2
    Cook the sausage until 3/4 of the way done and then remove from heat into a large mixing bowl.
  • 3
    Combine the sausage, red pepper, yellow pepper, yellow squash and tomatoes with the dry ingredients.
  • 4
    Take the zucchini that you scooped out of the "boat" and mix with the garlic. (Keep this seperate from the sausage.)
  • 5
    Place some croutons into the shell and then scoop some of the sausage mix on top of the croutons.
  • 6
    Then put some of the zucchini and garlic mix on top of that, followed with some more croutons.
  • 7
    The last thing to go on would be the slices of onion. Using a sheet of foil, spray it with non-stick vegetable spray and wrap it around the zucchini.
  • 8
    Set on the grill, not on direct flame or heat. Cook until tender.
