Zucchini boats stuffed with veggies and bread crumbs. I like to make this for dinner/ lunch, but it can also be made as an appetizer. To do this you can cut the zucchini boats into smaller pieces after they have cooked. You can also substitute vegetables and herbs of your choice in this recipe. You can use cooking spray on the baking pan in place of the olive oil.
The picture is what they look like right before they enter the oven.
