Vegan Zucchini Taco Boats

Servings: 4 servings (2 boats each)

Ingredients

For the Taco Boats

  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 bell pepper cored and roughly chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms I used cremini, roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne optional
  • 6 ounces corn kernels
  • 4 medium zucchini
  • cheesy nacho cashew cream diced tomato and fresh cilantro for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Using a food processor (or a chef's knife), finely chop the walnuts. Add to a skillet over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring intermittently until light golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  • Next use the food processor and finely chop the garlic, onion, and bell pepper by pulsing for about 10 seconds. Transfer them to a lightly greased skillet, sprinkle with salt, and cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms to the food processor and pulse for another 10 seconds to finely chop. Transfer them to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes then add the tomato paste, walnuts and seasonings. Stir together and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until mushrooms are softened. Add the corn, stir and cook until heated through, for about 2 minutes.
  • Chop of the stems of each zucchini and slice in half. Use a metal tablespoon or scooper to scoop out the center of each zucchini. Add the filling to each one then place in a 9 x 13" baking dish. Once they are all filled, bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until zucchini is tender.
  • Serve zucchini warm with chopped tomato, fresh cilantro, and nacho cashew cream drizzled on top. Enjoy!
