How to make Air Fryer Zucchini Pizza Boats
-
To begin, rinse and pat zucchini dry. Cut each zucchini into halves, lengthwise. Then use a small spoon or melon baller, and remove a small amount of the center of each zucchini slice, making a small well.
-
Fill the hollowed zucchini boat with pizza sauce, then add shredded mozzarella cheese. Add pizza toppings such as pepperoni, Italian sausage, or other favorite toppings. Place stuffed zucchini boats into the air fryer basket without stacking or overlapping.
-
Air fry at 350 degrees F for 10-14 minutes cook time. Zucchini should be fork tender when done.
-
Serve immediately. I love dipping these pizza boats into marinara sauce or even ranch dressing.
I make these Zucchini Boats in my Cosori 5.8 quart air fryer. Size and wattages vary, so cooking times may need to be adjusted by a couple of minutes.
FAQ's
Absolutely! These pizza version boats are a family favorite recipe. They are so easy and versatile, that you can make them differently for everyone. You can add ground turkey, parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, bell pepper, or onions. Or add ground beef mixed with taco seasonings, cheddar cheese, and chopped tomatoes, for a taco style boat.
If you have extra zucchini, you can make Air Fryer Zucchini chips, Air Fryer Zucchini, or Zucchini Fritters.
These zucchini boats are a delicious meal on their own. You can also cut them into smaller sections. Air Fryer Zucchini Pizza Bites also make a delicious appetizer when cut into bite size pieces. If you are looking to pair this with something else, Chicken Parmesan, or Chicken Parmesan Meatballs, are both perfect with these pizza boats.
