Air Fryer Stuffed Zucchini Boats with Sausage

Air Fryer Stuffed Zucchini Boats with Sausage

You can use ground turkey, chicken or beef. The possibilities are endless. For low-carb/keto, replace the breadcrumbs with any low-carb breading of choice (crushed pork rinds, almond flour, etc - and use a low-carb marinara sauce if serving with a sauce).

Want a lot of meat filling? Then Pre-cooking the filling ensures that the sausage or any meat is fully cooked. If you're not adding a lot of filling then the raw meat should be cooked when the zucchini is cooked.

If you like your zucchini extra soft, you can air fry just the cored out zucchini for about 5 minutes before adding the sausage and other fillings.

Lay zucchini in air fryer making sure the zucchini doesn’t tip over (see note below).

Notes

Zucchini can often tip over if you’re using a large basket air fryer or oven style air fryer. Create an aluminum foil ring around zucchini base so it doesn’t roll over.
