Vegetarian Stuffed Zucchini Squash

This is a fun dish that’s vegetarian (and can be vegan if you replace the egg and butter) for an easy weeknight side or meal.

A roasted vegetable boat, the simplicity of the ingredients really brings out the flavors that work together so well.

You can easily switch up the stuffing with other types of vegetables if you’d like, and even add cheese or marinara sauce on it for a different flavor!

Make sure you use organic ingredients since vegetables are often grown with pesticides and herbicides.

You can also make this ahead of time and freeze, making it an easy grab and go lunch.

You can absolutely add meat to this to make it high protein as well.
