Who doesn’t LOVE pizza!?! This recipe has everything there is to love about pizza…the warm gooey bubbly cheese, with the slightly sweet sauce, all piled onto one of summers best veggies (in my opinion)…ZUCCHINI!!! One serving is 2 large zucchini boats for only about 200 calories, and packed with 18 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per serving, which means it will keep you feeling satisfied longer!
These pizza zucchini boats are great to make for an appetizer, snack, or meal…and even non-zucchini fans are guaranteed to love this recipe! This dish is surprisingly quick and easy to make, so if you have never made zucchini boats, I recommend trying it! In fact, zucchini boats only ‘look’ hard to make, (when in fact, they are so simple), so naturally, you end up looking like a ’star’ in the kitchen!

This is my first post on your site and I must say I’ve loved everything I’ve made so far. I made this the other night for dinner and my 15 year old daughter even liked it!!! I had some leftover peppers I chopped up and added for extra vegies. Took the leftovers to work the next day and everyone was jealous! Great for a gluten free pizza option!
Elizabeth said:
I make these a few times a month, they are great!! My husband can’t have wheat so they are a great alternative
Erika @ Dr.TriRunner said:
YUMM!! I haven’t completely given up on pizza since going GF – and this is another perfect option! My favorite “pizza substitute” right now is a spinach salad with cooked ground bison, and sauteed red onions and cherry tomatoes. Annnd a little parm. :D
Rach said:
Oh wow these look delicious!! What a brilliant idea to use the zucchini!
Sarah said:
Wow! These were so delicious and filling! What an awesome substitute for crust! I used some leftover ground chicken instead of turkey, yum! I’m so glad I found your site!
Maggie said:
I made these last weekend and was shocked at how delicious/filling they were… I made 4 boats and could only get through about 2 1/2! My fiance even tried a bite and said he could actually get into those instead of real pizza!
Amanda said:
I made these this week and even ‘MY’ husband loved them, he told me to make sure that you knew he ate 2 boats lol we paired it with the greek salad pita pizza fantastic dinner.

I made these today for lunch, my entire family enjoyed them. Husband and ten year old daughter (which is a feat, she is a very picky eater). This is the first time I have tried turkey breakfast sausage. It is wonderful, will not be eating any other again. I am amazed at how good your recipes and the ingredients are, just goes to show that when someone says “try it you’ll like it” it might be true! I have always loved fattening, starchy foods so this is a big healthy change for me. Thanks Katie for taking the time to figure out how to make these healthy alternatives.
Mallory said:
I made this tonight, but instead of using turkey I crumbled up garden burgers to resemble ground meat, and I added about a cup of chopped mushroom. You couldn’t tell I had used the mushroom, so it was a good way to sneak in another vegetable, and really added bulk to the filing. I also added some crushed red pepper flakes to give it a kick. I loved that the zucchini stayed crunchy, while the filing was warm and delicious. Thanks Katie!
Alexandra said:
I made this but as a devoted animal cruelty free lifestyle and vegatarian , I made it with soy meat and it was delicious!!!
Much better when you eat all without meat.

Jenny said:
Love the site – and the recipe. Just a friendly fyi from someone who works on websites a bunch and knows about all their wonderful little quirks – it seems that the print-friendly function isn’t working in Chrome. It doesn’t print the text. Thanks for the recipe!
Megan said:
oh, how glad I am that I found DD! had some beautiful zucchini from the farmer’s market and wanted to try something new, and this was a total winner! can’t wait to make this again for friends. my mom absolutely loved it. God bless you :)
