These zucchini boats taste great with the grilled chops on my favorite menu. I’ve served them with fish and with other grilled meats. I’ve also made them in the oven on occasion. —Nancy Zimmerman, Cape May Court House, New Jersey

This is fabulous and I like that it contains no meat. I did substitute basil for the mint. I also sauteed grape tomatoes and garlic, tossed with goat cheese and more basil and placed on the top. Soooo delicious. I hope that the creator of this recipe will not be offended by my additions as it is amazing o its own.

Great bbq veggie option. Note: not all breadcrumbs are created equal, consider the sodium content before adding extra salt. I substituted italian seasoning for the mint (1/2 -1 tsp)

This is an excellent and healthy recipe! We halved it b/c there are only 2 of us, did not use the mint, and baked them at 350 b/c it was too windy to grill. I will absolutely be making these again soon!

Loved this recipe. I did omit the garlic as we are not fond of garlic. The mint added just an extra hint of flavor. This did take some time to assemble but my husband said it was worth MY effort. I put the zucchini in a dispoable foil pan on my gas grill.

I have made this recipe twice. The first time I followed the recipe except I omitted the mint. It was very easy and very good. The second time, I put the Parmesan cheese in place of the mozzarella while cooking. After stuffing the zucchini, I topped it with slices of tomato, sprinkled a bit of oregano on the tomatoes and the mozzarella cheese. This was our family's favorite!!

Delicious! I did not add mint, but added extra garlic and used cheddar cheese rather than mozzarella.

These are very good- an excellent side dish with grilled fish. I use cheddar instead of mozzarella. Great recipe!
