Zucchini sausage boats are an easy meal to put together quickly and we have several variations that we make regularly. The kids actually enjoy helping make them and they can be easily customized to your tastes by changing the spices.

Zucchini filled with bell pepper, onion, and sausage, and topped with melted cheese. They’re a great meal on-the-go and also re-heat well (we wrap in foil and store in the fridge until use), especially when re-heated in the oven. I’ve even made these ahead to serve for breakfast on busy mornings.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground sausage (or ground beef)
  • 4 medium zucchini
  • 2 TBSP coconut oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • ¼ cup roasted red peppers (chopped, optional)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp basil
  • ½ tsp thyme
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (or sour cream)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Wash zucchini and put into a large pot of water. Do not peel, cut, or remove ends.
  • Bring to a boil and boil for about 10 minutes until somewhat tender.
  • While the zucchini is boiling, dice the onion and bell pepper. 
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet and saute onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the ground meat and cook until browned, then remove from heat.
  • Once the zucchini are cooked, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Do not discard the seeds, but add them to the meat and veggie mixture. 
  • Place the zucchini on large baking sheet.
  • Add the roasted red peppers and the eggs to the somewhat cooled meat mixture and stir well.
  • Evenly divide the meat mixture among the zucchini boats.
  • Top each with the shredded cheese if desired.

    Hello, I am wondering if you have ever used and reviewed a Nu Wave oven? If so are they a good healthy choice? My aunt bought me one as a gift and I love it. It can cook and reheat anything. I just started switching over to natural living due to autoimmune and other health problems ,which by the way let me thank you for everything you do here. It is Very Much appreciated here. I have been reading everything on your site and now I’m curious to know how good it really is. I’ve read where you have tested products and if it is a good healthy choices I highly recommend it. Thank you for your time and patience.

    I love this recipe! It turned out so well for us. It was moist and flavorful. I added some butter while cooking the onions and meat in addition to oil which I think really helped me get my 20 month old to eat it! It is the first time that he has willingly eaten beef, and onions. So delicious!

    I made this for dinner tonight! Yummy…. And my 2 year old who won’t touch a veggie (that she knows about) ate the stuffing and loved it. We will work on her eating the zucchini next! I will note that there are a couple steps missing from the recipe and roasted red peppers and the oil are not listed in the ingredients.

    Hey there wellness mama. I am new here at the chatting, but have been looking around on your site at everything and I love it. I was in another yahoo group and that didn’t work out very well so I have been looking around for another site that does this natural healing. I am going to try some of your recipes on here, they sound so good. I have already started brushing my teeth with your recipe for toothpaste, and I am going to try your deodorant recipe. I have bad teeth and I am trying to keep to them so I can be proud of my smile. I just want to say thanks for having this site.
