How to make it

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Wash the zucchini and slice each one lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and a little of the flesh with a spoon, leaving about a quarter inch border, to create a 'boat'.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, softened cream cheese, and hot sauce. Mix everything really well until it is smooth and creamy. Taste and add a little more hot sauce if you like extra spice.

  4. 4

    Carefully spoon the tuna mixture into each zucchini boat, filling them generously. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of each filled boat.

  5. 5

    Place the filled zucchini boats on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious low-carb meal!
