Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Zucchini:

• Wash the zucchinis and slice them in half lengthwise.
• Use a spoon to scoop out the insides of each zucchini half, creating a hollow “boat.” Set aside the scooped-out zucchini flesh for later use.

3. Prepare the Filling:

• In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil.
• Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
• Season the beef with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
• Once the beef is cooked through, add the homemade spaghetti sauce to the skillet and stir to combine.
• Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes, then remove it from the heat.

4. Stuff the Zucchini Boats:

• Place the hollowed-out zucchini boats in a baking dish.
• Spoon the beef and spaghetti sauce mixture evenly into each zucchini boat, filling them to the top.

5. Add the Toppings:

• Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of each stuffed zucchini boat.
• Arrange sliced pepperoni on top of the cheese.

6. Bake:

• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve:

• Once baked, remove the foil from the baking dish and sprinkle additional Italian seasoning over the stuffed zucchini boats for garnish.
• Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Keto Stuffed Zucchini Boats straight from the garden to your table
