Low carb meals can help you slim your waist line, while most people with celiac disease choose a gluten-free diet as their best choice. Now, with pizza being one of the most popular foods in the world (and one of my favorite things to eat!), I decided to create a low carb and gluten-free version. This recipe is above and beyond easy to make, and believe me, it has an incredible flavor. These zucchini pizza boats are addicting! and they can be served as a main course or even an appetizer. This is a pretty basic recipe I have created, you can play around with adding more toppings, such as ham, pineapple, pepperoni or anything else you like.
