Zucchini Boats

Zucchini boats with vegetables and a cheesy crust are an amazing vegetable appetizer, one of my family's favorites. The zucchini are filled with carrots, tomatoes, herbs and peas, then baked for half an hour. They look gorgeous and impressive on the table, and I won't even start on the taste - simply a fantastic dish!

Notes

The filling can be anything your heart desires - the mix of vegetables can be changed to suit your taste.

Tips

• Filling - whatever your heart desires: mine has zucchini flesh, carrot, tomato, herbs, peas and spices, but you can freely change the mix to your own taste.
• Choose small zucchini - they make neat, single-serve "boats" that hold their shape well.
