Zucchini is one of those veggies that can be eaten in many shapes and forms, and its versatility truly knows no bounds. If zucchini boats happen to be one of your favorite dishes made with this ingredient, you can use these three tips to make them even more delicious.

Using Zucchini Flesh

A lot of people tend to throw away zucchini flesh after scooping it out, in order to make enough space to stuff their boats. This step, however, is completely unnecessary because you can use the flesh as one of the ingredients for your filling.

Boiled Zucchini

Some recipes for this delicious dish suggest that zucchini should be boiled for two to three minutes before being stuffed. You don’t have to do this with smaller zucchinis, but it can be helpful because the flesh will be easier to take out and your zucchini will be much tenderer.

Prepping the Ingredients

The sky is the limit when it comes to the ingredients you’re going to use in your zucchini boats, but it’s recommended to prep them beforehand. Some of the ingredients require a little bit of extra work, so make sure to cook them because there’s a chance they won’t bake properly in the oven.
