To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and flesh with a spoon, leaving a hollow shell.

Add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they are slightly softened. Add the cooked lentils, quinoa, and diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the zucchini boats from the oven and fill each one with the lentil and quinoa mixture. Top each boat with shredded cheese and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
