Calories 388kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 Zucchinis
  • 1 Pound Italian Sausage
  • 1/2 Cup Parmesan grated
  • 1 Egg
  • 6 Slices Provolone cut in half
  • 1 Cup Keto Spaghetti Sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cut the ends off the zucchini (3) and slice in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh (enough room for your meatballs).
  • Place zucchinis on one of the prepared baking sheets and brush with olive oil.
  • Combine Italian sausage (1 pound), egg (1), and grated parmesan (1/2 cup) together in a large bowl using your hands until the ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Roll the meat into 24 small meatballs, and place them on the second prepared baking sheet.
  • Place both pans in the preheated oven, and bake for 16-18 minutes, you'll know they're done once the internal temp of your meatballs reaches 165 F, and the zucchinis are fork-tender to your liking.
  • Meanwhile, heat your spaghetti sauce (1 cup), *I like to do this in a large pan*.
  • Remove liquid (if any) has pooled in the center of each zucchini boats.
  • Spoon sauce over each zucchini boat, then 4 meatballs, followed by another layer of sauce. Place 2 cheese slices of provolone halves over the top of each sub. Repeat until you've used all the ingredients.
  • Bake in oven just until the cheese melts. Enjoy!
