Before the summer ends, try this recipe for a great side dish or lighter main dish. Zucchini Boats Stuffed with Black Lentils & Mushrooms is healthy, flavorful, and fun!
I almost missed the boat on these (bah-dum-tss!) but it’s still officially summer and there is still a whole bunch of zucchini out there waiting to be used. This recipe for Zucchini Boats Stuffed with Black Lentils and Mushrooms is perfect to put together a flavorful side dish or light meal.
I’ve eaten a lot of zucchini this summer. Mostly grilled, but not always. I love it and add it to pretty much anything and everything while there is so much of it available.
Zucchini Boats Stuffed with Black Lentils & Mushrooms is a versatile recipe, and you could add so many different things to the mix. I used black lentils because I like how sturdy they are, and I meant to include toasted pine nuts, but forgot them. Glad summer is around for a little while longer so I can make these again…and again!

How cute are these zucchini boats? They’re filled to the rim with lentils and mushrooms, and some other goodies as seasoning. They’re so tasty, too, and when you have zucchini to be eaten, this recipe offers a nice option to your usual rotation.
Lentils are tiny little things that pack a nutritional punch (and they’re tasty and versatile, too)! They’re rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They’re high in protein and low in fat. Check out what the Cleveland Clinic says about the benefits of lentils (and the different kind of lentils).
If you like lentils and you’re into meatless meals, try my recipe for Hearty Mushroom-Lentil Burgers and my Rice and Lentil Loaf that gives classic meatloaf a run for its money!
