INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 Whole Wheat Bun
1 ounce Mozzarella Cheese
1 medium Zucchini
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for the zucchini sticks.
Slice the zucchini into sticks, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the zucchini for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are crisp and golden.
Meanwhile, shape the lean ground beef into a patty (about 4 ounces) and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and cook the beef patty for approximately 4-5 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached.
Place the mozzarella cheese on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
Lightly toast the whole wheat bun on the skillet or in the oven.
Assemble the burger by placing the beef patty with melted mozzarella on the bottom bun, then top with the crispy baked zucchini sticks, and cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, delicious meal.
