The production of filled zucchini boats is theoretically a funny idea, but a lot of work in practice. It is also a lost proposal to convince a child that kitschy, cheeky zucchini boats are “a bit like French bread pizza”. To put half a zucchini in front of you, while the word “pizza” is basically used by a cruel bait and switch.
Fortunately, my father and partner recently shared this casserole from Zucchini Bake with me and my son, and after I had enthusiastic thirds, they shared their recipe with me. They experimented with this dish because while they love zucchini boats, they found them eat chaotic, difficult to store them and a pain to warm up.
This version deals with all these problems and is also much easier to assemble. You can put together, cover and cool everything in the morning and later bake for dinner if you want. It is ideal to throw the oven after a day full of activities, while everyone has changed and settled for dinner.
It offers all sticky, melting cheese and savory tomato sauce that longs for your family, everything on a bed of tender zucchini. You want to serve this dish with a crispy bread – an Italian loaf, baguette or garlic bread ideally. It completes the pizza profile and is perfect for wiping your bowl.

Key ingredients
- I am of the middle Atlantic, so I love it with that Don Pepino Brand of pizza sauce from jersey fresh tomatoes in this dish. But like to feel used, what kind of sauce is your favorite.

Tips to have my zucchini pizza baked
- Zucchini is watery and releases his juices while cooking. To reduce the fluid volume in the finished bowl, you need to drain the RO-TET tomatoes and chillies and boiled sausage before adding them to the casserole.
- If you feel ambitious and have a little more time, sprinkle the chopped zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and leave it in a colander for about 20 minutes and leave it with a paper towel before assembly to remove even more liquid.
- For even more pizza mood, it is delicious to surpass the casserole with Pepperoni and sprinkle with fresh parmesan because it comes out of the oven.
