Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Step 3

Place the whole zucchini into it and boil until somewhat tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil or butter in a large skillet over medium- high heat and cook the onion and bell pepper.

Step 5

After the veggies have cooked for 5 minutes and start to soften, add the beef to brown, breaking it up as it cooks, for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned through.

Step 6

Stir in the spices until evenly mixed

Step 7

Remove from the heat.

Step 8

Once the zucchini are cooked and are cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh to leave a .25-inch-thick shell.

Step 9

Place the zucchini on a large baking sheet and add the scooped-out seeds to the meat and veggies mixture.

Step 10

Add the roasted red peppers, if using, and the eggs to the meat mixture and stir well.

Step 11

Stuff equal portions of the meat into the zucchini boats.

Step 12

Top each with a slice of cheese, if using.

Step 13

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until well heated and the cheese starts to bubble.

Step 14

Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and serve hot.
