The answer is a resounding yes, and in this blog post, we'll show you how.
First, let's gather our ingredients:
2 medium zucchinis
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Next, let's get cooking:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.
Slice your zucchinis lengthwise and scoop out the insides to create a hollow, boat-like shape.
Brush each zucchini boat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix together the cooked quinoa, chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Spoon the mixture into each zucchini boat, making sure to fill them up.
Place the zucchini boats in the air fryer basket and cook for 12 minutes or until the zucchinis are tender and the cheese is melted.
Once done, remove from the air fryer and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Pro tips and variations:
If you're short on time, you can pre-cook the quinoa in advance.
You can also mix up the filling to include other veggies or proteins like ground turkey or black beans.
Don't have an air fryer? You can also bake these in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
