Zucchini Nachos image

These low-carb nachos use zucchini slices in place of tortilla chips and ground chicken instead of beef as a healthier alternative to traditional nachos. Ground turkey also works well. You'll never miss the chips! Feel free to use your favorite toppings.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 medium zucchini
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ medium onion, finely chopped
1 pound lean ground chicken
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup low-fat sour cream
½ cup pico de gallo
1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
3 green onions, green parts chopped

Steps:

  • Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch slices using a mandoline slicer. Place slices in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and toss to coat. Let drain for 30 minutes. Place slices on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned, breaking meat up into small crumbles, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and discard any accumulated liquid.
  • Return skillet to low heat and stir in chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Keep warm.
  • Place zucchini slices on the prepared baking pan in a single layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
  • Remove zucchini from oven and top with chicken mixture and shredded Cheddar cheese. Return to the hot oven and bake until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Top nachos with dollops of sour cream, pico de gallo, jalapeno, and green onions. Serve immediately.

These nachos were a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference.

I found that the zucchini chips were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some spices to them next time.
