Zucchini Pizza Boats

Oregon State says these are good for kids, but I say they are good for anybody who wants easy quick pizza without the carbs.  If you are on a strict ketogenic plan, either minimize the pasta sauce or replace it with fresh chopped tomatoes.  Use more zucchini and/or less cheese if you want to make this even healthier.
