Ladies and gentlemen, start your zucchinis!!!! Is that not a thing? Well, I think it should be...because zucchinis are in season and I am ready to EAT EAT EAT! I have been seeing these zucchini pizzas all over Pinterest and other foodie sites and I was like, "I wanna see the deal about these things."
So I made up this recipe. And it turned out pretty great if you ask me! If you ask my husband, this was an insult to pizza. Seriously. He tried it though. I think he even liked it. But does it replace pizza? Not in his book.
Now, I want to take a moment to discuss that fact because my husband may be onto something there....does it replace pizza? Never. However, would this make a wonderful side dish? Heck to the yes! Also? These make a fantastic appetizer because you can whip them up in the a snap!

I didn't do step by step photos on this one because it's so seriously easy that your mind will be blown.
One zucchini, cut in half, topped with a little sauce, a little mozzarella cheese, and then, if you like, a pepperoni or two. Or three. Hehe.
Now, pop these suckers into the oven on 450 degrees and bake them for 15 minutes.
Don't they look amazing?!?!?! I really enjoyed this. If you want, you can serve them with extra sauce for dippin'.
I ate it with a fork and knife...because it's still zucchini.
Zucchini Pizza Boats
Time: 15 minutes | Makes: 2 boats | Difficulty: Easy
You Will Need:
1 zucchini
A couple tablespoons pizza sauce
About a handful of mozzarella cheese
Pepperoni, if desired (or really any topping that suits your fancy!)
Method:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut your zucchini in half, lengthwise. (get rid of those pesky ends, 'cause you won't need them, no sir!)
Place them on a baking dish (I like my baking stones, but whatever turns you on works just great).
Top each half with about a tablespoon of pizza sauce. Top with desired amount of cheese and then toppings. I used pepperoni.
Bake in the 450 degree oven for 15 minutes. Allow the cheese to cool before you dig in because I burned the heck out of my mouth....I'm not very patient. I paid for this facet of my personality in mouth burns.
