ZUCCHINI NACHOS



Zucchini Nachos image

Zucchini nachos are the veggie based treat that gets crispy, cheesy, and piled high with zesty beef...or as many other toppings as you like.

Provided by Lindsey Hyland

Categories     Appetizer

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 Large Zucchini ((note 1))
1 Tablespoon Avocado or vegetable oil
Kosher Salt
Pepper
Buffalo chicken nachos ((see note 2))
keto carnitas
Cheese: cotija, cheddar, pepper jack (shredded)
Herbs: scallions or cilantro
Salsa
Avocado
Sour Cream

Steps:

  • Prep. Preheat oven to 400 F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Chips. Cut zucchinis into 1/2" slices and toss in vegetable oil (1 tablespoon). Lay zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes (this will slightly cook the veggies, but still allow them to be sturdy enough to scoop up the toppings). Remove pan, and crank the oven up to broil.
  • Toppings. Cover zucchini chips with your chosen nacho toppings. Make sure to add the cheese last so it melts on top, and wait to add the fresh herbs. Broil your nachos for about 5 minutes -- watch carefully here, you just want the cheese to melt.
  • Serve + enjoy! Remove from oven and top with fresh herbs and avocado. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Time 10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large zucchini, sliced
cooking spray
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
8 slices pickled jalapeno pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Trim ends of zucchini; use a mandoline on the thinnest setting to cut zucchini into 1/8-inch slices. Place slices on a plate lined with paper towels, top with additional paper towels, and press down to remove excess moisture.
  • Place zucchini slices on a cutting board and lightly mist with cooking spray. Turn slices over and sprinkle with taco seasoning; lightly mist this side with cooking spray as well. Place slices seasoned-side up on a microwave-safe plate, making sure none are overlapping. Cook in the microwave on high power for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Carefully flip slices over and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat with remaining zucchini.
  • Divide chips between 2 microwave-safe plates. Add black olives, red onion, jalapeno peppers, and Cheddar cheese. Microwave on high power until cheese is melted, about 30 seconds.

ZUCCHINI FRY NACHOS

Why should tortilla chips have all the fun? Turn the humble zucchini into crunchy disks and then dress them up with all the fixings.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
3 large eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs (See Cook's Note)
1 pound zucchini (2 to 3 small to medium zucchini), cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese (about 4.5 ounces)
1/4 cup sliced pickled jalapenos
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup pico de gallo or salsa
1 small avocado, diced
1 radish, thinly sliced
A small handful cilantro leaves and tender stems
A small handful cilantro leaves and tender stems
1 lime, quartered

Steps:

  • Adjust 2 oven racks to the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Put the wire racks in the baking sheets and coat each generously with cooking spray.
  • Combine the flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Combine the eggs and 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large plastic bag; combine the breadcrumbs and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a third large plastic bag.
  • Add about a half of the zucchini rounds to the flour, and use a combination of your hands and shaking the bag to coat the zucchini. Remove the zucchini and shake off any excess flour. Transfer to the egg wash and repeat until coated. (It's less messy if you use only one hand for the dry ingredients and the other for the wet.) Let any excess egg drip off before transferring to the breadcrumb mixture; repeat until fully coated (you'll still see some green and white of the zucchini peeking through the breading). Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and coat the breaded zucchini generously with cooking spray (there's no need to turn them). Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
  • Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom about halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Lower the oven to 350 degrees F and let the baking sheet cool for a few minutes. Remove the rack from one of the baking sheets and line the baking sheet with foil. Slide the baked zucchini onto the baking sheet and scatter the cheese and jalapenos on top. Bake until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Thin the sour cream out with a little water, until it's pourable, and drizzle over the nachos. Then garnish with the pico de gallo, avocado, radish and cilantro. Serve with lime on the side.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a sharp knife to thinly slice the zucchini. Be sure to slice the zucchini evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have nacho cheese sauce, you can use your favorite cheese sauce. You can also use a combination of shredded cheese and salsa.
  • For a spicier nacho, add a few chopped jalapeños to the toppings.
  • Garnish the nachos with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, and cilantro.
