I apologize ahead of time not all the prep steps have pictures, I prepped everything really fast and forgot to pause and take pictures on some of them lol This recipe is not hard to follow though!
Step 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2. Cut your if using 2 small zucchini in half and then spoon out the center leaving about a 1/4 inch of flesh, (I havent perfected the boat making process myself so it is ok if they are not perfect).
Step 3. Drizzle the oil into a baking pan, rub the oil onto the zucchini as well.
P.S. If you are using one large zucchini cut into quarters and then scoop the middle out. I had one large zucchini this time so here is an example below. :-)
Step 4. Chop the scooped out zucchini into small pieces, mince the onion, shred the red potato (using a cheese grater), and shred the cheese.
Step 5. Remove the lining from the sausage links, this is easily done with a small sharp knife just put it under one edge of the lining and cut down to the other edge, the lining will peel right off the meat.
Step 6. Brown the sausage meat in frying pan on med-med/hi.
Step 7. Add the onions, shredded potato, chopped zucchini, garlic powder, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook until onions are translucent and potatoes are tender. Then drain and empty into small bowl.
Step 8. Add oatmeal to sausage mixture and combine well.
Step 9. Stuff the zucchini boats with stuffing mixture and top with cheese
Step 10. Bake for 30 mins or until zucchini is tender but not mushy and cheese is melted and slightly brown.
That's it :-) 10 easy steps to get delicious stuffed zucchini!
