Notes:
- Be careful not to remove too much from the inside of the zucchini boats. If they are too thin the shells can collapse.
- To reduce the carbs even more, replace the onion in the sauce with 1-2 teaspoons of onion powder. You can also use a low-carb tomato sauce, and omit the sugar.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the boats with the meat sauce filling, cover, and refrigerate for up to a day before baking as directed.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
