White Lasagna Zucchini Boats<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Creamy, Satisfying and Indulgent tasting White Lasagna Zucchini Boats!<\/h3>\n

Zucchini boats are one of my Family’s FAVORITE Dinnertime Meals throughout the summertime.<\/h3>\n

I have shared A LOT of different zucchini boat recipes here on the site over the years! This is another delicious variation!<\/h3>\n

Tender garden-fresh zucchini hollowed out and filled to the brim with a simple, rich white “lasagna” mixture, made with protein packed Greek yogurt, ground chicken, a hint of fresh garlic, then topped with melty mozzarella cheese.<\/h3>\n

The zucchinis are then roasted to perfection, allowing the flavors to blend together for best taste and texture.<\/h3>\n

It’s a dish that’s both healthy and indulgent, perfect for a summer evening when you’re craving something hearty that won’t weigh you down!<\/h3>\n

Zucchini has quite an impressive nutritional scoreboard \u2013 from high levels of potassium, B-vitamins, dietary fiber, and antioxidants, all which offer huge benefits to our overall health.<\/h3>\n

It’s shown that eating zucchini regularly in place of processed carbohydrates (such as pasta) can even help regulate our blood sugar levels, which can greatly benefit diabetics.<\/h3>\n

Eating zucchini several times per week can help us with our weight loss goals.<\/h3>\n

Zucchini is extremely low in calories but gives us the feeling of being full. Therefore, it is a great way to satisfy our appetites without grabbing lots of empty calories or carbs.<\/h3>\n

4 servings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ingredients:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 2 large fresh zucchini<\/li>\n
  • 2 tsps avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil<\/li>\n
  • 1 lb ground chicken or turkey<\/li>\n
  • 1 heaping cup baby spinach, roughly chopped<\/li>\n
  • 4 fresh garlic cloves, pressed or minced<\/li>\n
  • 3 tsps Italian seasoning<\/li>\n
  • sea salt and ground pepper, to taste<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup freshly shredded mozzarella<\/li>\n
  • a handful of chopped parsley, to garnish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    Instructions:<\/h2>\n

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f.
    \nSlice your zucchini in half lengthwise, and using a spoon, scoop out the inside creating boats as shown in the photos.<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\n

    Reserve the “insides” in a bowl to use for the filling.<\/h3>\n

    Sprinkle zucchini lightly with sea salt and allow to sit for a minute or two, then pat dry with a paper towel. This helps prevent watery zucchini boats.<\/h3>\n

    Place your prepared zucchini boats in a baking dish. Season lightly with sea salt and pepper. Roast for about 10 minutes.<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\n

    Meanwhile, heat your oil in a large skillet and cook the ground meat while mincing with your spatula.<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\n

    Once the meat is no longer pink, add in the spinach, zucchini insides, garlic, Italian seasoning, sea salt and pepper.<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\n

    Cook over medium heat, stirring often, for about 5 minutes or so.<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\n

    Remove the skillet from the heat then stir in your yogurt.<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\n

    Mix thoroughly to combine.<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\n

    Stuff the zucchini boats evenly with your mixture, then sprinkle with the cheese.<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/h3>\n

    Roast in your oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and everything is heated throughout.
    \nGarnish with parsley and enjoy!
