Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Zucchini (or yellow squash)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 cups Sour cream (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and cut them in half lengthwise. Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh, creating a 'boat' shape. Be careful not to scoop too deeply to avoid breaking the skin.
Brush the zucchini shells with olive oil and season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the zucchini halves cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
Remove the zucchini from the oven and carefully flip them cut-side up. Fill each zucchini half with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions for garnish.
Serve the low-carb tater skins warm, with a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping.
