These bowls are super satisfying and full of healthy fats and veggies. If you haven’t tried making roasted crispy zucchini rounds, you’ve been missing out! They are very flavorful, and a great part of any low carb dish! In this dish, Mexican-spiced beef and roasted zucchini are paired in a salad bowl with all of the good taco fixings, including lettuce, tomato and avocado. Feel free to add a handful of cheese or dollop of sour cream!

I chopped up the zucchini and put it in with the beef. I waited until the beef was almost completely done and put the zucchini in, So it took on the Spice flavors, but it was more of a steamed scenario with a bit of crunch left. I really liked it.

I used an air fryer for the zucchini and I also thought it was amazing.

Roasting the zucchini is tough, needs more spice flavor. Overall a mild taco type meal,

This spice mix is excellent. I made with ground turkey and loved it. My zucchini pieces were a flop consistency wise (either mushy or burnt) but I had fun snacking them out of the pan - tasted great. (Need to research this a bit more.) will never buy taco mix from the store again.

Can I cook the zucchini in an air-fryer ?

  Yes we do, reduced the time by about half. We use our air fryer for everything. It’s so hot in Tucson we have to turn on the conventional oven unless it is dead of winter.

Can you roast the zucchini on parchment paper?

I love this recipe but substitute lamb for beef and green onion for red. Plus when I want to save time I use my food dehydrator to make the zucchini chips in bulk so I can pull out what I need when I need. (They're great with guac when you want a quick snack!)

Actually loved the zucchini part. This was the easiest and most meal prep friendly recipe, as most of these things you can buy in large quantities and make big batches, and store (minus the lettuce/avocado, add later). My zucchini was mushy so do some reading on blogs on how to make them crispier for extra tips (eg. blot moisture, be sparing with olive oil, cook longer, etc)

I liked the concept of this dish but the zucchini tasted sweet and didn’t mesh well with the dish. Next time I will eliminate the zuchinni.

Is there a nutritional reason why cheese or sour-cream wasn't used in the receipt? Currently have it on the stove!

  You can totally use cheese. It adds fat if your actually following the diet and you may need that

Can you meal prep for 4-6 days since the zucchini is crispy and dry? Adding the avocado and sour cream day of and putting lettuce on the top of the other ingredients?
