Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-large zucchinis, sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
Topping suggestions:
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced olives

- 1/4 cup mini pepperonis

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place sliced zucchinis on parchment paper and use the tip of a spoon or a melon-baller to remove seeds. This will create small wells inside each zucchini about a 1/4 inch deep.
- Divide marinara sauce evenly across zucchinis (roughly 1 tbsp per zucchini), sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and salt and pepper.
- Top zucchinis with any desired toppings or leave plain.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until zucchinis are tender and cheese is melted.
- Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve warm.
