Baby Zucchini Boats Recipe

Ingredients for Baby Zucchini Boats

• 4 medium zucchini
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Garlic Cloves

How to Make Baby Zucchini Boats

1. Bring a pot of lightly salted water (about 2 cups) to a boil.
2. While the water heats, sauté 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced into rings, in 1 tablespoon of butter until softened (about 3-5 minutes).
3. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside, keeping warm.
4. Gently wash 4 medium zucchini and carefully cut them in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh to create a small boat shape.
5. Add the zucchini boats to the boiling water and cook for only 2-3 minutes, until just tender-crisp.
6. Immediately remove the zucchini from the boiling water and pat dry with paper towels.
7. In the same pan, lightly brown 2 cloves of minced garlic in the remaining butter (about 30 seconds).
8. Arrange the zucchini boats on a serving platter. Top each boat with the sautéed onions and drizzle generously with the garlic butter.
9. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives).
