Ingredients
2 medium zucchini
1 lb halal sausage (beef or chicken)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C)
Slice zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh to form boat shapes
Initially roast zucchini shells in air fryer for 7 minutes to set structure
Meanwhile, mix halal sausage, breadcrumbs, mozzarella, garlic, herbs, olive oil, salt, pepper, and onion powder in a bowl
Fill zucchini boats with mixture, pressing gently
Return to air fryer and cook 12-15 minutes until golden and bubbly
Notes
Use halal-certified beef or chicken sausage for dietary compliance
Substitute mozzarella with grated Parmesan if preferred
Roasting zucchini first prevents sogginess
Serve with lemon wedges to brighten flavors
