Notes
6.7 NET CARBS PER SERVING
For this recipe, you can also use yellow squash and also small eggplants.
If you use sausage, you can use sweet or hot, either way is delicious.
Any kind of cheese that you like an be used in these Keto boats, mozzarella, fontina, provolone, romano, parmesan…..etc
Try to get small zucchini because they are more tender than large ones, plus they are just the right size for an individual serving.
Any kind of tomato sauce will work and if you can make your own homemade sauce that’s even better.
If you don’t have any sauce you could use chopped tomatoes. That’s good too.
