Prep Time 10 mins Cook Time 20 mins Total Time 30 mins Difficulty: Beginner Cooking Temp: 175  °C Servings: 4 Best Season: Suitable throughout the year

Ingredients

Servings

• 2 medium zucchinis
• 1 can tuna (drained)
• ¹⁄₂ cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ¹⁄₄ cup chopped celery

• ¹⁄₄ cup diced spring onions (or any type of onions)

• ¹⁄₄ cup mayonnaise

• salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).

   

2. Cut the zucchinis in halves lengthwise. Use a spoon or knife to score the area to be removed and start scooping out the heart and seeds, until you create the shape of "boats".

   
   Pro Tip: after scooping the zucchini hearts, add salt to the boats and let them dehydrate for 10 minutes. This will eliminate the excess water from the Zucchini Tuna Boats.

3. Grease a baking tray with butter or oil, and place the zucchini boats on it.

   

4. For the stuffing salad, mix the tuna, celery, onions, and mayonnaise in a bowl. Then season it with salt and pepper to your liking.

   

5. Divide tuna mixture among zucchini boats and top them with the shredded cheese.

   

6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until Zucchini Tuna Boats are tender.
