Directions

1. Take each zucchini and scoop out the flesh with seeds. If the flesh is tender, I use it in the stuffing else I discard it. If the zucchinis are longer, you can cut them into halves.
2. Heat 2 tsp. Oil in a pan. Add 1 chopped onion with minced ginger and garlic. Saute for about 3 minutes till browned. Add crumbled tofu/boiled lentils/beans or boiled soy curls. Add Harissa sauce and some Sriracha sauce. I like them hot.
3. You could use a milder Thai Sweet Chili sauce or any seasoning of choice.
4. You can add any chopped vegetables that you like broccoli, mushroom, pepper, corn, beans here and cook it down.
5. Let the stuffing cool down completely before using.
6. Preheat air fryer at 360F or 160C for 5 minutes. Brush scooped out zucchini boats with a bit of olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle salt and pepper and air fry at 360F or 160C for 5 minutes.
7. Fill the boats with stuffing that has cooled down. Top with lots of grated cheese. Use parmesan or processed cheese. You can use vegan cheese as well.
8. Carefully place stuffed zucchini boats in air fryer basket.
9. Air fry at 200C or 390F for about 6 minutes till the cheese browns and everything looks done.
10. Take them out and serve hot with marinara sauce if you are craving some pasta or pizza or just have it as it is with a dip of choice.
11. It is so delicious.
12. Preheat oven at 400F.
13. Lay scooped out zucchini boats on an oven-proof dish. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper.
14. Now add the cooled stuffing and top with cheese. Bake at 400F for about 25-30 minutes. Your zucchini boats are ready to serve.
