Lean Beef Burger with Melted Mozzarella and Crispy Baked Zucchini Sticks
Savor a hearty, lean beef burger featuring a juicy 4-ounce patty seasoned to perfection and topped with melted mozzarella. Paired with a whole wheat bun and accompanied by crispy baked zucchini sticks drizzled with a hint of olive oil, this meal offers a balance of savory flavors and satisfying textures.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 ounce Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 Whole Wheat Burger Bun
1 medium Zucchini
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Seasonings: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder (to taste)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Form the lean ground beef into a 4-ounce patty and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patty for about 4-5 minutes per side until it reaches your desired doneness.
While the patty cooks, slice the zucchini into sticks and toss them in a small bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the zucchini sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they become crispy and tender.
In the last 2 minutes of the burger's cooking, place the mozzarella cheese on top of the patty in the skillet and allow it to melt gently.
Toast the whole wheat bun lightly in the skillet or oven if desired.
Assemble the burger by placing the cheesy beef patty on the bun and serve alongside the crispy baked zucchini sticks.
