Zucchini Pizza Boats
Here's a unique zucchini recipe the whole family with love.
Are you looking for something different to do with zucchini? Here’s a unique zucchini recipe the whole family with love.
Some variations you can make are using beans or tofu or any kind of meat instead of the ground meat; use Alfredo, salsa or pico instead of the pizza sauce; add any herbs or spices; add in other vegetables; for dairy free don’t add the cheese, or use a dairy free option (I like Daiya brand).
Enjoy!
