Vegan Zucchini Boats
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, keeping the border intact. Arrange them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the zucchini bakes, combine the tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Take the zucchini out of the oven; leave the oven on. Carefully fill each zucchini half with about 1 tablespoon of hummus, making sure the hummus comes to no more than 3/4 from the top.

  6. 6

    Bake again in the preheated oven for 10 more minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon the tomato mixture on top and serve.
