really good recipe and easy! -
This recipe is easily veganized - I used vegan margarine and cheese (plus plain black olives without pimentos). The bread crumbs I used were whole wheat Panko. (See 3rd photo) -
This made a nice lunch today! Easy to do, because no using the oven! I enjoyed the olive flavor, topped with the cheese. Thanks! Made for 123 Hit Wonders game.

Wow, these are great!!! I had planned to eat on these for two nights but we devoured them in one night, they were so good!!!!!! I love zucchini boats and the olives make them pop!! I used 6 little zucchini(which made 12 boats) and used 1 of the halves for extra filling along with the inner pulp so there would be some pretty dark green flecks from the skin. Used green pimiento-stuffed olives and some black olives too. Used Ian's brand whole wheat panko bread crumbs and chicken broth instead of water. Cut a little sliver off the bottoms so the zucchini boats would sit evenly. Served these with recipe#328416 and they paired wonderfully!! I love this recipe, will definitely make again and again, thanks!!!
