Instructions

🔥 STEP 1: PREPARE THE ZUCCHINI

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Sprinkle with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

🍅 STEP 3: ADD TOPPINGS

• Spread tomato sauce over each zucchini.
• Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
• Add shredded chicken or mushrooms for extra protein.

🔥 STEP 4: BAKE

• Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the cheese melts and the edges turn slightly golden.
• For a crispier top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.

🌿 STEP 5: SERVE

• Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve warm!
