Ingredients

• 2 large zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 0.5 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup diced cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 cup sliced jalapenos
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 1 avocado, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt until well coated.

Step 4

Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crisp.

Step 5

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook until the beef is browned, and the onions are soft, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1-2 tablespoons of water to coat the meat evenly with the seasoning. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 7

On a large serving platter, arrange the baked zucchini slices. Top with cooked beef mixture, followed by an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Place the platter under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and garnish with cherry tomatoes, jalapenos, sour cream, diced avocado, and cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb loaded nachos!
