Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mellon Baller Scoop
  • Kitchen Colander
  • Measuring Spoons, Measuring Cups, Stirring Spoon,
  • Chopping board and knife

Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 medium Zucchini see notes to select the right kind
  • 3 tbsp Pasta Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 small or 2 tbsp Yellow Bell Pepper finely chopped
  • 1 small or 2 tbsp Mushroom finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Cherry Tomatoes finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Black Olives finely chopped
  • To taste Salt & Black Pepper
  • Small pinch Red Chilli flakes
  • Small pinch Dry Basil

  • Prepare Zucchini

    1. Although I chose a large Zucchini and quartered it, you can use 2 medium size zucchini and slice these into halves lengthwise.
    2. Further scoop the middle part out of the zucchini gently using Mellon Baller Scoop or a spoon. Look at the picture. Do not discard the meaty part of the zucchini since you can use it in soups, stews and stir fries. Save it for later.
    3. Lightly oil the hollowed zucchini using either olive oil or an oil spray.
    4. Now fill the hollowed part of the zucchini with Pasta Sauce and top with the Cheese of your choice. Further top it with the toppings of your choice. I used finely chopped yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, black olives & cherry tomatoes.
    5. Sprinkle these Pizza Boats with little salt & pepper, red chili flakes and dry basil.

    Air Frying Pizza Boats

    1. Preheat the Air Fryer at 350*F. Place the filled pizza boats inside the air fryer.
    2. Further AIR FRY for about 8-10 till the cheese melts. I used 6 quart Instant Vortex Air fryer and mine were done in 8 minutes.
    3. You want the zucchini to be tender so that it’s pleasant to chew but not so mushy that it falls apart.
    4. Serve these immediately while still hot.
