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.

Tried your recipe, the only thing I did different was I used fresh garlic that was sautéd in butter, also grated fresh parmesan, put the cheese on to bake, then added more fresh grated cheese after it came out of the oven. It was very good, thanks for taking the time to make the video.
That sounds extra delicious!
What you’re doing here is really sweet and thoughtful. Please don’t be discouraged by the negative or critical comments here. I know that your heart is in the right place. My family is loving your recipes and we have been eating more plants, thank you so much & prayers for your father! 🕊️
Thank you so much! I am glad you are enjoying my recipes 😊.
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!!
Wow! That sounds delicious. I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing your cooking method with me.
My grandmother cooked with pure lard and put butter in everything she cooked. The sad part is that she only lived to be 98. 😅 if only she had always cooked healthier.
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.
I also remember eating this recipe as a kid. I really liked it but I do not remember how it was made then. That is so special that you have your grandmothers recipes. I imagine you have good memories when you make those recipes. I agree that fresh ingredients will taste much better. I hope you try it that way.
So good, thank you!
Your welcome 😊
Thank you. Will definitely try this receipe.

Your recipe is so fresh simple and healthy. I'm looking forward to trying this, thanks!👍💯🎯
Your welcome. I hope you love it!
It's not healthy with the butter. You need extra virgin olive oil. Very American and weird.
@@davidlynch9049 Butter is very popular in America. You can make the recipe with olive oil too.
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!
Oregano sounds good. I will have to try that too!
Thank you! Looks great, especially for someone on a keto diet!!
You are welcome!
Thanks

Thanks!
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 😁👍
You are welcome!
I made these right after I watched this. Oh my so delicious 😊
I put Cheyenne pepper, black pepper, little tumeric, salt, onion n garlic powder, and parmasean, mozzerella cheese. Yummy. I love your channel. Delicious. ❤
My sons loved it. 👍
@@KarenP2935 Wow! I will need to try that. Glad it turned out delicious!
This looks so delicious and easy to make. I need cheese. I should have made some tonight.
I hope you can make them soon. I think you will like them!
This is such an easy vegetable side dish that everyone loves! What is your favorite zucchini recipe?
try infusing the butter with some pressed garlic while you prepare everything else. nothing like fresh garlic!
Yum! I have some fresh garlic 😊
You are such a classy lady 💕🙏🏼👍
Aw. Thank you so much!
I'm trying this, but maybe say dry on your video before I buttered it, and add temp cook and time would help.
400 degrees. 20-25 minutes. The recipe is also in the description. I hope it turns out perfect!
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.
That’s a good idea. I hope it is delicious!
Can you use olive oil in place of butter?
I think that would be fine.
@@CookingLessonsforDad Hearts!
When you say granulated garlic, is it garlic powder or garlic salt?
Neither. There is granulated garlic. It is bigger pieces of dried garlic than powdered garlic. You should be able to find it at the grocery store. If you use garlic powder use half the amount.
I would try mozzerella cheese on them
That would be so delicious! And dip them in pasta sauce😊
@@CookingLessonsforDad yes would be tastey
Like bland, do you? Zucchinis have practically no intrinsic favour, and neither does mozzarella. Why on earth would anyone prefer this to cheese with flavour?
Good idea, but I would use fresh garlic.
Great idea!
What temperature is she baking them at?
400 degrees F.
What about salt? It’s in the recipe in the description, but not on video or instructions part. I understand that Parmesan cheese is salty, but is it enough?
Add salt to your taste. People have different preferences so it is up to the cook. I don't add salt because I think it is salty enough. I think the first time you cook it leave it off and see what you think. You can always add a bit of salt after it is cooked, then add salt the next time you cook it. Let me know how your Parmesan Bake Zucchini Boats turn out and if you think they need salt.
@@CookingLessonsforDad Thank you for your reply. I made this dish today according to your recipe. I put some salt (very little) in the beginning to get some liquid out, then followed your directions. It was pretty good and easy to make. I did sprinkle some more salt later, just to what I had on my plate.
@@irener.3849 I am glad it turned out good. I will try adding a bit of salt next time I make it. I love easy recipes!
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Did i miss at what temperature the oven was supposed to be set on????
400 degrees F. You can check the recipe in the description for more details. Hope you like it!
Look at the initial direction IT'S 400'
Yes 400 degrees and if it doesn’t start browning near the end of the cooking time you can increase the temperature to 425. If they brown you do not need to increase the temperature. I hope you like this recipe!
If you read the written recipe on her web site, its 400 degrees.
Thanks😊
Wait,whats the temp of oven?
400 degrees F. The recipe is in the description. I hope you like it!
@@CookingLessonsforDad Absolutely love,love love it!Thank you so much!!!!
@@camalaschlicher2778 I am so happy to hear that!
Again,THANK YOU!
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!
I agree with you. My version is faster and easier for beginner cooks like my dad. I bet it tastes amazing with all fresh ingredients.
@@CookingLessonsforDad I hope I didn't insult you. I'm American and was speaking in frustration from my last visit to the grocery store. The other day I made a homemade caper dill tartar sauce for my husband to go with fresh trout. He didn't like it; instead he wanted ketchup and mayo! lol. But thank you for the recipe, and I'm sure you're a great cook. Cheers!
I agree! I usually don't use much processed ingredients. I plan to try it with fresh garlic and cheese once my zucchini grows🙂
You say. …” Bake” ……But what temp . We want zucchini’s cooked, but topping crisp. ?
The recipe is in the description. 400 degrees F. Turn it up to 425 near the end of cooking to get the top darker. I hope yours turns out perfect!
Why do Americans use butter here? Very weird. Add extra virgin olive oil instead, which is healthier and fits with the vegetable.
We use butter because it tastes delicious. You can use olive oil too. Yes that is healthier. I hope you try the recipe.
Parmesan and butter is not good for anyone. Skip those and you are healthier.
Why would you say something like that on a cooking video? She didn't claim it to be healthy. it just tastes good. You know my mom always said if you can't say something nice.....
You can leave those off if you like. Maybe try olive oil and garlic? I bet that would taste good.
What is your temperature ????? How do you give a cooking class without saying the temperature?? No good
At 33 seconds I said to preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Sorry you missed it. The recipe is also in the description and there is a link in case you want to print it. I hope you try this recipe. It is really easy and delicious.
Pay attention. I hope things get better for you.
You need to seek help with your aggression
Processed “parm”. Try the real thing.
Yes real Parmesan is way better.
