Ratatouille Zucchini Boats Recipe
I have chosen a complete summer meal for you today. As you may remember from the name of the famous movie, Ratatouille is a famous French dish. When you think of ratatouille, the wonderful-looking arrangement of round sliced vegetables comes to mind. But this recipe does not have that look, unfortunately. This recipe has just ratatouille vegetables.
I used to boil the zucchini of the zucchini boats before, that's how we saw it and learned the recipe. I loved it the way it was, but there was always something that bothered me. When I baked it for the first time, I realized that what bothered me was the taste of boiled zucchini. In this state, the zucchini boat is definitely upgrading. I do not change the written recipe in order not to contradict the video recipe and not to explain it to everyone one by one, but by the way, I can now bake the classic zucchini boat in this way, it is extraordinary. If you think you don't like zucchini boats, I suggest you try it this way.
Since I prepared Ratatouille zucchini boats for the diet recipes category, I did not use cheese on top, but I know how much you like to sprinkle cheese on food and melt it. If you are not on a diet, you can sprinkle grated cheddar cheese or an equivalent cheese on top before the final baking step.
