Equipment

  • 1 Large baking sheet
  • 1 spoon for scooping
  • 1 Chef's knife
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • 1 Saute pan
  • 1 Medium mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 each medium zucchinis
  • 10 ounces baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or grapeseed oil plus more for drizzling
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese (about 8 ounces)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)
  • 1 cup feta cheese (about 6 ounces)
  • 2 each eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon coarse Kosher salt plus more for sprinkling
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • Dash nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Place on a large baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach, and cook until just wilted. Remove from heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Using a dish towel, squeeze excess water out of spinach.
  • While the zucchini bakes, stir together ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, eggs, garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Once excess moistures has been squeezed out of the spinach, stir it into cheese mixture.
  • Divide cheese mixture evenly among zucchini boats, and bake for another 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with a side salad or protein of your choice.

Notes

  • If you want to serve this as an appetizer, follow the same method, but cut your zucchini into 3 pieces.
  • For less salt in the mixture, use 4 ounces of feta cheese instead of 6 ounces.
