Easy Low Carb Pizza Stuffed Zucchini
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled (approximately 500 grams)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms, chopped
- 1 3/4 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 medium zucchini, washed and dried
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Add the cooked Italian sausage to a bowl (drain it first!), along with the chopped mushrooms, marinara sauce, 1/2 cup shredded cheese and oregano. Mix well and set aside.
- Slice the 3 zucchini in half, lengthwise, and using a spoon hollow out the inside parts of the zucchini where the seeds are. Discard the insides.
- Divide the sausage mixture between the 6 hollowed out zucchini halves and press the mixture down into the zucchini firmly.
- Top each of the halves with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese and place the zucchini halves on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until the zucchini is soft and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve immediately, or store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days to reheat for leftovers or healthy lunches.
