Lean Beef Mozzarella Burger with Crispy Baked Zucchini
Savor a juicy lean beef burger crowned with a melt-in-your-mouth low-fat mozzarella slice, nestled in a whole wheat bun. Paired with crispy baked zucchini fries seasoned to perfection, this dish delivers a balanced blend of savory flavors with a satisfying crunch in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces lean ground beef
1 ounce low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 whole wheat burger bun
1 medium zucchini
2 sprays olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
In a bowl, mix the lean ground beef with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Form a patty approximately 4 ounces in size and set it aside on a plate.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds or sticks. Lightly toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the zucchini on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they turn golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patty for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked to your desired doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, place the mozzarella cheese slice on top of the patty to allow it to melt.
Lightly toast the whole wheat burger bun in the skillet if desired.
Assemble the burger by placing the cheesy patty on the bottom bun, then topping with the crispy baked zucchini, and finally capping with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, flavorful meal.
