Chili Squash Boats

Low carb, with a paleo option, these Chili Squash Boats are a wonderful way to make a meal out of leftover chili.

A great way to use up leftover chili. I always make a large batch of chili and then have this the next day for lunch. A really simple, fast meal when you have leftover chili. 

Here are some links to my favorite, paleo, low carb chili recipes that can be used in this recipe: Easy Keto Instant Pot Chunky Chili,  Easy Taco Chili Skillet, Hearty Crockpot Chili Stew, or you can use any low carb chili you like as well.

This yellow squash has a ‘crooked neck’ which is a  curved stem on its end and a yellow skin and flesh with seeds in the center. It is also one of the most popular summer squashes.  It is my second favorite squash next to zucchini squash.

Yellow crook-neck squash is not only low in carbs it also has many health benefits.

Health Benefits of Yellow Squash

  1. Low Carb & Low Calorie
  2. High in Vitamin C
  3. Contains Folate & Iron
  4. Contains Beta Carotene & Lutein

    You always see recipes using zucchini so I love that these use summer squash! Such a great idea.

    This is such a fun idea! We always have the same thing for dinner and I bet my family would love me to change things up a bit with these boats. 🙂

    This is such a fun and delicious dinner! We still have our last summer squash in the garden that we're harvesting, which are perfect for this recipe. I love the idea of using leftover chili for a whole other special meal.
