Grilled Chorizo Zucchini Boats

This recipe came about as one of my go-to weeknight meals. It’s quick to make, packed with flavor, and can easily stand on its own as the main event. The chorizo adds a little heat and heartiness, making it feel more like an entree. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, no worries! Swap out the chorizo for caramelized sweet yellow onions (I’ve got a great recipe for those here), and you’ve still got a delicious meal. Throw in some breadcrumbs, maybe a side of quinoa or farro, and you’ve got dinner in no time.

Test Notes: Kids love it dipped in homestyle ranch. Make sure you make extra as they tend to get gobbled up fast!
