A fantastic and fun way to savor one of my favorite veggies! Chickpeas pack protein into this delicious side dish!

Drizzle olive oil inside each half and on outside of zucchini. Sprinkle with sea salt & pepper. Set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp Milanese Gremolata olive oil in medium pan. Add mixture to pan and saute for 5-10 minutes, until soft, aromatic, and juices are released.
Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 375 degrees F.
Place zucchini boats on foil-lined baking sheet. Scoop filling into shell.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 20 minutes, until soft and top begins to brown.
Serve immediately!
