These zucchini boats are perfect for an appetizer, snack, or a hearty lunch! I have been a fan of making “boats” ever since I started keto. Avocado boats and zucchini boats are a couple of vegetables that I have used in the past to make these. Avocado boats are one of my favorite as the seed is the perfect space to load up on meat and extra keto-friendly vegetables!

Zucchini boats work much the same way and this one is loaded with ground beef, onion, garlic, tomatoes, and seasoning! No matter what meal you make these for, I guarantee you will love these zucchini burrito boats!
