    Zucchini: The Swiss Army Knife of Vegetables

    Zucchini is a versatile vegetable that can be cooked in various ways and is a great addition to any healthy diet. Seriously, it's like the Swiss Army Knife of veggies. Craving noodles but want to keep it light? Zucchini noodles to the rescue. Want a dessert with a hint of nutrients? Zucchini loaf delivers. Need a carb-free pizza crust?

    Turbo Boost With Chickpeas

    Chickpeas are like the superfoods of the legume world. For the longest time, I thought they were eaten exclusively by vegetarians as a plant-based protein. Despite my early ignorance, I've thankfully learned that this is not the case. Chickpeas are a wonderful ingredient to use, no matter a person's status on meat consumption. In addition to being delicious, they're also packed with all sorts of health benefits that'll make you feel like you've just strapped yourself with a jetpack. In short, chickpeas offer high amounts of protein, fiber, and important vitamins and minerals, making them a nutritional powerhouse that'll keep you feeling full and satisfied. Hence, these Chickpea Curry Stuffed Zucchini Boats are a great meal option to enjoy all the health benefits they have to offer!

    Spice Things Up With Curry

    Curry is a staple in many cuisines and one of my personal favourites. Known for its warm, rich, and savoury flavours, curry lends itself very well in to this particular recipe. The flavour profile of curry varies depending on the ingredients and spices used, but it generally combines a blend of aromatic spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and ginger.

    Fun Curry Fact

    Did you know that there are many different types of curry? Tikka masala, Thai green curry and Massaman curry are just a few examples. Each have a unique blend of spices and seasonings that make them distinct and delicious!
