Ingredients

  • 2 Zucchinis
  • 4 slices Turkey Lunchmeat
  • 4 slices Ham
  • ½ cup Cheddar Cheese
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the ends off the zucchini (keep the skin on) then slice in half. Slice each half in half to make quarters. Top each zucchini boat with 1 slice of either the ham or turkey folding the lunchmeat in quarters.
  • Bake at 425 F for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven then top each zucchini boat with 1/2 tbsp of cheddar cheese then broil for 3 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Par-bake the zucchini for 5-10 minutes before adding the lunchmeat to soften the zucchini and make it easier to eat.
  • Season the zucchini with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, or a spice blend before assembling the boats and baking them. 
  • Cut a thin layer of zucchini off the bottom to create flat bottoms so your zucchini doesn’t roll around the baking sheet.
