Ingredients

• 2 large zucchinis
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 slices cheddar cheese, cut into quarters
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon ketchup (sugar-free)
• 1/4 cup pickles, sliced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
• Fresh lettuce leaves

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut the zucchinis into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should get about 16 rounds.
3. Arrange the zucchini rounds on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender.
4. While the zucchini is baking, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Once the beef is cooked, form small patties that fit the size of the zucchini rounds.
6. Place a slice of cheese on each beef patty and allow it to melt.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup to create the sauce.
8. Assemble the sliders by placing a beef patty on a zucchini round, adding a pickle slice, a bit of red onion, a slice of tomato, and a piece of lettuce. Top with another zucchini round.
9. Secure each slider with a toothpick if needed.
10. Serve immediately with the prepared sauce on the side for dipping.
