Ingredients 

  • 3 zucchinis
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups oyster mushrooms diced
  • 1 cup coconut milk full fat, unsweetened, chilled overnight
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup vegan cheese grated
  • green onion chopped
  • ½ cup bell red pepper diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F.
  • Rinse the zucchinis and cut them lengthwise into 2 halves. Cut the edges of each half.
  • Using a spoon, scoop out the insides of the halves until the zucchini.
  • In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook it until fragrant for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook on low until done, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the full-fat coconut cream and mix to incorporate.
  • Remove from heat and mix in dry oregano, thyme, salt, pepper.
  • Fill in each zucchini boat and press in the stuffing.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes uncovered. Try not to overcook them, otherwise, the zucchini will start to sag.
  • As soon as they're almost ready, sprinkle them with chopped bell pepper and grated cheddar and let them broil for 2 more minutes. Serve these zucchini boats with chopped green onion and fresh oregano on top.
