Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Take one half of a zucchini at a time and use a small silverware spoon to scoop out the "meat" of each, being careful not to scoop through the bottom of the zucchini half. Place scooped zucchini into a medium bowll and continue with each half.
In a skillet, warm 1 tbs. olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and break up with spoon. As meat starts to cook, sprinkle in oregano, cinnamon and 1 tsp. each of salt and pepper. When no longer pink, drain meat slightly then add to bowl with zucchini meat.
In the same bowl, add drained fire roasted tomatoes. Mix carefully and taste, adjusting seasoning if needed.
Line a baking dish with tin foil and spray with cooking spray. Place scooped out zucchini halves in dish, then distribute the zucchini/meat/tomato mixture over top (overflow is ok!). Top each half with 1 tbs. each of feta and mozzarella.
Bake the zucchini boats for 25 minutes or until cheese is nice and melty.
Top boats with chopped mint and crushed marcona almonds. Serve warm!
