Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 2 zucchini
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sliced fresh basil, more of less according to taste (may use 1 teaspoon dried basil if needed)
• 1/4-1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 wash and dry the zucchini. trim off the ends and slice in half lengthwise. scoop out some of the seeds in the middle of each piece. you may leave some seeds in because you only need to scoop out enough to allow the butter to melt and stay inside. put all zucchini boats on a baking sheet.
• 2 divide the butter between the zucchini boats, spreading all over cut side. salt and pepper each piece and then divide the basil and parmesan between the boats.
• 3 bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until desired tenderness. (less for slightly crisp and longer for softer zucchini.).
