For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese on top of the zucchini boats before baking. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or beef for the chicken sausage, adjusting cooking times as needed. Fresh oregano or thyme can be used in place of, or in addition to, the basil for a different herbal note.
