Keto Air Fryer Zucchini Boats
Stuffed full of meat, veggies, and melty cheese, the keto zucchini boats are perfectly seasoned, delicious, and ready in less than 10 minutes.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 Zucchini medium
- 2 T Oil
- 1 c Onion diced
- 1 c Bell Pepper diced
- 1 lb Ground protein beef, chicken, vegetarian
- 1 T Italian Seasoning
- 1 t Minced Garlic
- 1.5 c Fresh Tomatoes diced
- 1 c Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
- Cut the zucchini into halves. Scoop the centers of the zucchini out and discard.
- Optional: Heat the zucchini in the microwave for 3-4 minutes to help soften. I prefer this, especially for large thicker zucchini.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Then saute the onion and bell pepper until soft. Add in the protein and cook until browned.
- Add in the spices and minced garlic.
- Then, add in the diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.
- Evenly distribute the skillet mixture into the zucchini boats. Place the zucchini boats into the air fryer basket or air fryer tray.
- Air Fry at 350F/176C for 8 minutes. Then top with cheese and air fry for an additional two minutes.
Notes
- The cook time will depend on the size of your zucchini, large and thick zucchini will take longer. It is easier to microwave them to get a hard start on the cooking process. Alternatively, you could cook the zucchini (without the stuffing) in the air fryer for 5 minutes.
- Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
