RECIPE: Parmesan Baked Zucchini Boats
INGREDIENTS:
4 zucchini (rinsed and dried)
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 – 1 teaspoon garlic, granulated
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper, fresh ground (or to taste)
Kosher salt (to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking pan with parchment paper or silicon baking mat.
2: Trim the stem end off the zucchini. Then cut them lengthwise in half.
3: Place the zucchini halves skin side down on the baking pan.
4: Score the inside of the zucchini halves 2 times (lengthwise) with a fork.
5: Brush the melted butter over the scored side of the zucchini.
6: Sprinkle the zucchini first with granulated garlic, next with Parmesan cheese and last with ground pepper.
7: Bake about 20 – 25 minutes until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is light golden brown.
NOTES:
These zucchini boats are a delicious side dish.
I melted the butter in the microwave for a few seconds.
Adjust the butter and seasonings to your taste and according to the size of the zucchini.
Larger zucchini take longer to cook, smaller ones cook faster.
For variety you may want to dip them in or top them with a pasta sauce.
Parchment paper is optional but it makes clean up much easier.
If the zucchini don’t start browning near the end of the cooking time, you can increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees for the last few minutes. Another option is to move the pan to a higher oven rack.

This is such an easy vegetable side dish that everyone loves! What is your favorite zucchini recipe?
Thank you. Never tried this before and pretty sure my sister hasn't either so I sent her the video too. 😁 Thank you.
Your videos are great, your voice is also very calming sometimes when I'm anxious I just watch your videos. I can tell you were meant to teach
That’s great! Would like to see more from you 😉 keep sharing please… I’m subscribed to your channel!! ☺️
So good, thank you!
that's not parmigiano cheese..its saw dust full of chemicals ..dont eat this people its unhealthy ..
You are such a classy lady 💕🙏🏼👍
Thanks
Your recipe is so simple, just what I was looking for. I am going to add a little oregano when I make mine tomorrow. Thanks a lot!
Looks delicious!!
try infusing the butter with some pressed garlic while you prepare everything else. nothing like fresh garlic!
Made these three weeks ago and they were great, BUT, it's my nature to tweak so I did.
First, looking for a crunchier bite, I lined my baking pan with foil and placed a baking rack in it. Then, feeling it a healthier choice to butter, I chose to use Badalucco extra virgin olive oil. After cutting, drying, and scoring three zucchini, I placed each piece cut-side down on the baking rack and brushed the skin with the olive oil. Then, using tongs, I flipped each piece over and followed the recipe directions but with olive oil. The result was wonderful crispy zucchini boats with amazing flavors! Baking time was longer, but it was well worth it. Thank you for your recipe!!
This looks so delicious and easy to make. I need cheese. I should have made some tonight.
This looks great, but I don't understand why one wouldn't use fresh garlic and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Americans' obsession with dried, processed foods laden with preservatives is unnecessary and illogical, when fresh options are available. It tastes better and is much healthier!
You say. …” Bake” ……But what temp . We want zucchini’s cooked, but topping crisp. ?
Can you use olive oil in place of butter?
Wait,whats the temp of oven?
When you say granulated garlic, is it garlic powder or garlic salt?
Thank you! Looks great, especially for someone on a keto diet!!
👏👍
Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Did i miss at what temperature the oven was supposed to be set on????
very yummy.thanks for sharing😋👍
My grandma used to make these for me when I was a kid, though she added breadcrumbs (which I liked). Before she died she made sure my sisters would inherit all the family recipes that have been passed down matrilineally since time immemorial in italy; zucchini boats were one of them so now my sisters make them. I would like to try making them with white zucchini, which I prefer. I will also echo the post below that urged using fresh ingredients if possible–freshly grated or shredded parmesan especially is just leagues beyond the cheaper options.
Thank you. Will definitely try this receipe.
You did an excellent job and the simplicity and you didn’t stand there and do everything that needed to be done by showing and taking the time you actually did it absolutely perfectly and they look delicious so I’m gonna try them tonight. You did a good job.
❤thanks
Parmesan and butter is not good for anyone. Skip those and you are healthier.
I'm trying this, but maybe say dry on your video before I buttered it, and add temp cook and time would help.
You call it cooking for Dad, but this is just what I am looking for….. healthy yet simple recipes…..thankyou so much ! And I love baked zucchini, bursts with flavor💯
Oh just found your channel while scrolling for recipes.
What an easy recipe. I have everything. My sons will love it. Thank you. Liked and subscribed 😁👍
I would try mozzerella cheese on them
Thank you for the video.
Look at the initial direction IT'S 400'
This is a simple and delicious recipe for zucchini. My zucchinis are so large that the skins and the seeds need to be removed before baking.
I love zucchini. Thank you so much for teaching a quick, simple and flavorful way to cook it.
Delicious thanks for sharing 🇯🇵
I made them just like you described and am going to make them again tonite.
