In a bowl, stir together the cooked quinoa, tomatoes, shallot, garlic, parmesan, olive oil, herbs and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until combined. Taste and season more if needed. You really want to season each layer of this (the zucchini and the quinoa!).
Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise. Place them on a baking sheet. Scoop out the center using a spoon to create a well. You can discard this zucchini or stir it into the quinoa if you don’t want to waste it.
Sprinkle each zucchini boat with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Drizzle each with balsamic glaze. Scoop the quinoa mixture into the center of the zucchini and repeat with each one. Top each boat with a few cubes of fresh mozzarella.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melty and bubbly. Remove and sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese and herbs. Drizzle with more balsamic glaze if you’d like. Serve immediately.
