Keto Zucchini Sliders are an inventive and low-carb option compared to traditional food. Use thick zucchini slices in place of bread to give the sliders a light, fresh base that uses as few carbohydrates as possible. Use seasoned ground beef to make the patties, which are then grilled until they are juicy and covered with melted cheese for added flavor. Keto Zucchini Sliders provide all the enjoyment of a burger without the weight of bread when sandwiched between soft zucchini rounds. You can add Pickle, tomatoes, or lettuce for an additional crunchy taste. Chicken or turkey is also a great addition for protein, and it adds variation.

ZUCCHINI SLICES:

GROUND BEEF:
- The sliders are tasty and juicy thanks to the ground beef. Achieve the ideal ratio of taste to fat by using 80/20. Although it can rapidly dry out, leaner beef works.
GARLIC POWDER:
- The delicious kick of garlic powder complements the beef well. There are no pieces and it seasons evenly.
ONION POWDER:
- Onion powder adds a slight sweet taste to stabilize the taste. It enhances garlic without taking away from the meat’s flavor. It keeps the patties delicious but uncomplicated.
SMOKED PAPRIKA:
- Smoked paprika adds a slight taste and indulgence of smoky taste. It gives the patties more color.
SALT & PEPPER:
- Everything is nicely seasoned with Black pepper & salt. They bring out the inherent tastes of zucchini and meat. Adapt to your personal preferences.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- For richness, mozzarella or cheddar cheese melts into the patties. Whereas mozzarella has a mild flavor, cheddar adds a sharp one. Both give the sliders more depth.
OLIVE OIL:
- Use olive oil to saute the zucchini sliders as they can’t adhere to slices of zucchini. It aids in their light browning. It only takes a thin brush.
LETTUCE, TOMATO, PICKLE:
