Gluten Free Zucchini Boats

This is a great recipe. It's high in protein, low in carbs and fat and very tasty.

You will need:

5 green zucchinis

1/2 cup chick peas (cooked, drained)

4 Tbsp of soft goat cheese

2 Tbsp of raw almonds

1 cup of fresh basil

2 cloves of garlic

1/2 tsp lemon zest

Olive oil

Salt and Pepper to taste


Cut the zucchinis in half, lengthwise, and with a teaspoon gently take out the flesh inside, forming a well.
(Be careful not to break through the bottom) Brush the zucchini halves with olive oil and bake in an oven at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes.

In the meantime, squeeze out the excess water from the zucchini meat and place in a food processor. Add the garlic, goat cheese, basil, almonds, chick peas, lemon zest and salt and mix together.

Once the zucchini shells are done baking, remove from the oven and let it cool for approximately 1/2 hour. When they are cooled, with a tablespoon, fill the zucchini shells with the mixture and place it back in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Voila! So simple, so healthy, so delicious!!
