Ingredients:

  • 2 large zucchinis
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for grilling
  • Toothpicks or small skewers for assembly

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Zucchini:
    • Wash and slice the zucchinis into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
    • Brush each zucchini slice lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Prepare the Beef Patties:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
    • Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
    • Form the mixture into small patties, about the size of the zucchini slices.
  3. Grill the Zucchini:
    • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
    • Grill the zucchini slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
    • Set aside on a plate.
  4. Cook the Beef Patties:
    • On the same grill or grill pan, cook the beef patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
    • In the last minute of cooking, place a small amount of shredded cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
  5. Assemble the Sliders:
    • To assemble the sliders, place a grilled zucchini slice on the bottom.
    • Add a beef patty with melted cheese on top of the zucchini slice.
    • Place another grilled zucchini slice on top to create a “bun.”
    • Secure each slider with a toothpick or small skewer.
  6. Serve:
    • Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and serve immediately.
