(try not to eat it all 😉 )
Arrange Zucchini Boats on cookie sheet and stuff them.
Top with Nutritionals Yeast and Sea Salt.
400° covered for 45 minutes. uncovered for 15 minutes
My comments:
top with jalapeños and homemade guacamole.
serve with quinoa or rice if you like.
guacamole is 4 to 6 avocados roughly smashed with 1/2 lime and sea salt to taste.
can add a a little cumin and cilantro if you want.
