Think potato skins, but with low-carb and Mediterranean flavor upgrades. The zucchini provides a tender, yet sturdy, vessel for a cheesy, tangy, salty flavor bomb of goat cheese and prosciutto. Adding just a drizzle of avocado oil just before placing these grilled zucchini boats on the heat prevents the cheese and prosciutto from burning while adding more healthy fats to this ketogenic dish.
