Zucchini Boats are a versatile and nutritious dish commonly associated with Mediterranean and American cuisines. Made by hollowing out zucchini halves and filling them with a mix of ingredients such as lean protein (like ground turkey or chicken), vegetables, beans, whole grains, cheese, and herbs, they deliver a balanced blend of flavors and nutrients. Zucchini itself is low in calories and rich in vitamins A, C, and potassium, which support immunity, eye health, and heart function. While the filling can vary widely, a focus on fresh ingredients can keep the dish healthy, providing fiber, protein, and essential nutrients. For those watching fat intake, choosing reduced-fat cheese or skipping heavy sauces can enhance the dish’s health benefits. Zucchini Boats are baked to perfection, offering a wholesome, low-carb alternative to heavier meals, while inspiring endless variations to suit dietary preferences.
