This pizza zucchini boat recipe by Delish on YouTube is a low-carb recipe that is healthy and delicious. It’s a great alternative if you are wanting a pizza, but lower-calorie and carb. Zucchini recipes are surprisingly really filling and you can eat a few without feeling and sluggish. Even when I’m not on a diet, I would make these pizza zucchini boats because they are a great way to eat vegetables as well. Zucchini makes me feel light and this gives me another recipe idea. This can be vegetarian-friendly if you skip out on the pepperoni and just add cheese. It’s guilt-free and not greasy, unlike regular pizza crust. I love regular pizza but I think it would be interesting to see how these would taste.
Ingredients:
- 4 large zucchini, halved lengthwise
- 1 (16-oz.) jar marinara sauce
- 2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1 cup mini pepperoni
- Chopped fresh basil, for garnish
Directions:
First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the zucchinis in half and score it like you’re dicing an avocado. Scoop out the insides into a large bowl. Continue to watch Delish tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Next, spoon the sauce inside of the zucchini boats and top it with cheese and mini pepperoni. Bake until zucchini is tender and cheese is golden for about 15 minutes.
Overall, I love how cheesy these pizza boats look and they are very simple to make with only a few ingredients. It looks super cheesy I think they would taste super good to make for your kids as well. I love healthy alternatives to food that I enjoy, but it’s nice to make a rather fresh version of pizza. The pizza zucchini boats look so cute and it has a nice presentation when the cheese melts over.
