Ingredients
- Sliced a generous zucchini and ready your cooking spray. Embrace the flavors with a packet of taco seasoning mix. Enhance with sliced black olives, chopped red onion, and pickled jalapeno pepper slices. Lastly, sprinkle a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese for a delightful touch.
Step 1
Prepare the zucchini by trimming the ends and slicing it thinly using a mandoline at the thinnest setting, aiming for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick. Lay the zucchini slices on a plate lined with paper towels, cover them with more paper towels, and gently press down to remove any excess moisture.
Step 2
Next, transfer the zucchini slices to a cutting board and give them a light mist of cooking spray. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the slices, then mist the other side with cooking spray as well. Arrange the seasoned slices on a microwave-safe plate without overlapping. Microwave on high for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Afterward, carefully flip the slices over and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat this process with the remaining zucchini slices.
Step 3
Now, divide the zucchini chips between two microwave-safe plates. Top them with black olives, red onion, jalapeno peppers, and a generous amount of Cheddar cheese. Microwave on high until the cheese is perfectly melted, which should take around 30 seconds. Enjoy your deliciously cheesy zucchini nachos!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your zucchinis fresh by storing them in a cool, dark place. Use them within a few days of purchase to ensure maximum crispiness in your nacho chips.
- 2. To prevent your zucchinis from getting soggy, slice them thinly and evenly. This will ensure that they cook evenly and become perfectly crispy.
