Notes
- If the boat is unstable: Shave a thin layer from the bottom so it lays flat.
- Firmer/softer zucchini: Adjust baking time by a few minutes either way. Avoid overbaking to prevent mushiness.
- To avoid watery zucchini: You could pre-bake the unfilled zucchini for 10 minutes then pat dry before filling and baking. Adding this optional step comes down to preference, though.
- Baking time may vary: Depending on the size of the vegan stuffed courgetti/ zucchini and your oven model.
