I have developed a taste for zucchini lately and have been looking for new ways to fix this nutritious and delicious veggie. Did you know it was a member of the summer squash family and delivers loads of Vitamin C, Vitamin B-6 and potassium? It even delivers smaller amounts of Vitamin A, magnesium, calcium and iron and all for only 33 calories for the entire zucchini! Of course, now that I told you how low in calories this vegetable is, I am going to up the count by adding some delicious cheese but still keep it on the healthy side with the addition of tomatoes and fresh basil. You will find it quite similar to a margherita pizza but with a lot less calories! Serve as a meatless main dish or as an appetizer. You can also slice the zucchini so they make small circles of pizza just like a bagel bite but healthier and kids love them! Margherita Zucchini Boats Ingredients: 3 zucchini 4 Tablespoons olive oil 1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic, or to taste Salt & pepper, to taste 2-3 Roma tomatoes, sliced thin 1/8-1/4 cup Panko or breadcrumbs (you can also use gluten-free breadcrumbs) 1/4-1/2 lb. sliced fresh
