Try something different with that zucchini in your crisper by turning it into nachos. After all, why should tortilla chips have all the fun? Top with salsa, if desired.
Ingredients
- 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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Cook’s Notes:
The key to crispy chips is to make sure excess moisture is removed prior to cooking, thin slices that can only be done with a mandolin, and a very light misting of non-stick spray.
