INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC).

Prepare the Zucchini:

  • Wash the zucchini and cut each in half lengthwise.

  • Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from the center of each zucchini half, creating a boat-like shape. Save the zucchini flesh for later use.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a large skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat.

  • Add diced red bell pepper, red onion, and minced garlic. Sautรฉ for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.

  • Add the crumbled vegan chorizo to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.

  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, and the flesh from the zucchini. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Stuff the Zucchini Boats:

  • Fill each zucchini boat with the chorizo and vegetable mixture, pressing it down gently.

Bake:

  • Place the stuffed zucchini boats in a baking dish. Cover with foil.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender but still holds its shape.

Optional Topping:

  • If using vegan cheese, remove the foil and sprinkle the cheese shreds over the stuffed zucchini boats. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
