Wegman's Squash Boats

These squash boats are a recipe from Wegmans. They are a huge hit with customers and are already fairly low carb. I cut the squash thinner so I have a better ratio of toppings to squash; and so they cook faster. You can use zucchini or yellow squash. I know that hummus isn't super low carb, but you only have to use a smear of it for each squash slice.



2 goldbar squash or zucchini, sliced lengthwise
~7 oz. basil pesto
1/2 c. roasted tomatoes, chopped
3/4 c. hummus (I used roasted red pepper, original recipe calls for Lemon Dill Hummus)
8 oz. feta cheese (I used mediterranean blend)
butter or oil

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Oil or butter a baking pan. (You can put down a silpat mat first if you want)
2. Lay out squash slices on pan. Smear on the hummus evenly on all slices.
spread pesto evenly on top of the hummus.
3. Place a few pieces of chopped tomatoes on each slice. Sprinkle on feta cheese. Top with black pepper if you want and drizzle with a bit of oil. Bake for 15 minutes.

If you want to grill these, you can:
Slice the squash only in half and scoop out the seeds in the middle with a spoon. Oil and grill flesh-side down until heated. Flip over, add toppings, and let sit until toppings are all melty and delicious.
