INGREDIENTS
4 ounces lean ground beef
1 ounce part-skim mozzarella
1 medium zucchini
1 teaspoon olive oil
Pinch salt
Pinch black pepper
Pinch garlic powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the zucchini fries.
In a bowl, combine the lean ground beef with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Form into a patty.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked to your desired doneness.
While the patty is cooking, slice the zucchini into fries (sticks). Toss the zucchini slices in olive oil and lightly season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy, turning halfway through.
Place the cooked beef patty on a plate and top with the mozzarella cheese. Optionally, briefly return to the skillet or microwave for 30 seconds to let the cheese melt.
Serve the cheesy burger alongside the crispy zucchini fries and enjoy your balanced and flavorful meal.
