Our next Zucchini Week recipe is all about the Italian spin: Zucchini Pizza Boats. This quick and easy dinner recipe is kid friendly (hello, PIZZA), adult approved (also PIZZA! plus a built-in serving of veggies and skinny topping options), and the kind of satisfying weeknight meal we all need more of in our lives.
A zucchini boat features fresh zucchini that are split in half, hollowed out down in the center to create a “boat” opening, then stuffed with any manner of your favorite toppings. Once the zucchini boats are filled, you bake them to tender perfection and dive on in.
Zucchini is mild, so it lends itself well to a wide range of flavors (see this Zucchini Stir Fry for a delicious Asian-style prep).
Zucchini Pizza Boats
You can make zucchini boats with just about any blend of fillings and toppings, but this pizza version is hard to beat. I find that Italian ingredients pair with zucchini especially well (as evidenced by Zucchini Pasta and Zucchini Ravioli).
From the tomatoes in the pizza sauce to the basil on top to the bubbly, melty mozzarella cheese, each ingredient in this recipe works scrumptiously and naturally together.
After a few forkfuls of these Zucchini Pizza Boats, you’ll wish that eating your vegetables could always and forever be this effortless and tasty!

Don’t let the simplicity of this recipe fool you. Like many Italian recipes (including margarita pizza itself), a few basic ingredients yield marvelous results.
As someone who loathes having a kitchen gadget that only does one thing (I mean, how often am I balling a melon??), I was pleased to find another use for mine!
Part of the beauty of this recipe is how easy it is to customize. You aren’t committed to a single flavor. Everyone in your house can create the personal zucchini boat of his or her dreams!

A note on pepperoni: To save zucchini pizza boat calories, you can swap turkey pepperoni for the regular pepperoni. Honestly, I’m glad we splurged for the regular. It’s worth it here!
A note on sausage: For Zucchini Pizza Boats with sausage, I do prefer chicken or turkey sausage over pork sausage as it is less greasy and is still ultra flavorful. You do you.
Vegetable Tip: If your vegetables contain a large amount of natural moisture (like tomatoes or spinach) or are super firm (like diced sweet potatoes), sauté them first until tender and most of the liquid has cooked out, then top your zucchini and bake.

Just after I made these, Mark began watching me impatiently as I was perfecting these pizzas and snapping photos, wondering when I’d be done and he could get to devouring! I should have known he wouldn’t share. He ate the whole plateful for lunch, leaving the lowly cook without a scrap!
… Minus a couple I had snagged while he wasn’t looking. I had to make sure they were delicious enough to share with you, after all!
Well, let me tell you… I wanted MANY more bites than just a few! These zucchini pizzas are incredibly addictive, perfect for parties and taste so much like a real (little) pizza that you won’t even miss the crisp crust. The bubbly sauce rests under molten, gooey mozzarella, and topped with mini pepperoni and a pinch of Italian seasoning, each bite is a little bit of bliss!
