3 medium zucchinis 🥒
1 cup mushrooms, sliced 🍄

1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1/2 cup vegan shredded cheese 🧀 (mozzarella-style works great!)
Salt and pepper, to taste 🧂
Optional garnish: extra parsley 🌿
Instructions:
Prep the zucchini ✂️:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice zucchinis in half lengthwise and scoop out the centers with a spoon to create “boats.”
Make the filling 🍳:
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the boats 🚤:
Spoon the mushroom-spinach mixture into the hollowed-out zucchinis. Sprinkle generously with vegan cheese.
Bake 🔥:
Place zucchini boats in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and enjoy 🍴:
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot!
