Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

1. Prepare the Zucchini Boats (5 minutes):
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Scoop out the zucchini flesh using a spoon, creating a hollow cavity in each half. Brush the zucchini halves with 1 tablespoon of Philly Cheesesteak Blend Olive Oil. Arrange them on a baking sheet.
2. Cook the Filling (10 minutes):
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of Philly Cheesesteak Blend Olive Oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic, cooking until softened. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart and cooking until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine.
3. Fill the Zucchini Boats (5 minutes):
   • Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the hollowed zucchini halves. Top each with half a slice of provolone cheese. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top if using.
4. Bake (20 minutes):
   • Place the zucchini boats in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve:
   • Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
