Low Carb Zucchini Pizza Boats

You might be looking at these zucchini pizza boats and thinking they couldn’t possibly taste good. You’d be wrong.

Scoop them out a little then fill them up and you can eat them hot or cold, holding them like pizza sticks.

This recipe includes a mixture of sundried tomato, cauliflower, ham, olives, bell pepper, mushrooms, and cheese for the toppings. But like any other pizza, you can use all sorts of things – chicken strips, ground beef, spinach, avocado, broccoli, onion, feta, spinach – top the zucchini boats with whatever you like and they will taste just as awesome. :)
