VEGETARIAN ZUCCHINI BOATS
This is one of my favorite quick and cheap recipes for vegetarian zucchini boats that originally came from another recipe I found. I have made it several times as both a main course and a side dish, and liked it so much I thought I'd share it on AR. Thanks to the original blogger for sharing!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and trim a little off of the bottoms so that they will sit flat in the baking dish. Scoop out the centers, where the seeds are, with a spoon.
- Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a cup or bowl. Brush over the inner surfaces of the zucchini boats. Arrange tomatoes into the grooves and sprinkle bread crumbs around and in between to fill in the gaps.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven's broiler on.
- Place mozzarella cheese around and on top of the tomatoes. Return to the oven and broil until golden brown and bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
