Have you ever had zucchini beef sliders? Promise you won’t miss the bun!
Have you ever gotten to dinner and looked at your WW tracker and realize that you don’t have many points left? The solution? Use sliced zucchini as the top and bottom and make mini sliders.

How do you make air fried steak fries?
To make the steak fries, as part of my weekly meal preparation, bake off two or three baked potatoes, let cool, and store in the fridge. Heat your air fryer at 360 for five minutes. Remember it’s a mini oven and needs to be preheated!
Simply slice each potatoes in 8 steak fries, spray with avocado oil spray, salt and pepper, and cook for 12 minutes at 400 degrees.
Do I do low carb?
No. The above picture has been shared on possibly thousands of times since posted this in July 2019. Sadly people assume my blog is low carb. One woman even thanked me for giving her a low carb pizza dough – which is the skinny pizza dough and has two cups of flour. Not sure how she thought it was low carb with all that flour?
However, being diabetic I don’t mind doing lower carb from meals now and again.
I can’t wait to try these! Sounds delicious
Does your nutrition facts include the potatoes?
Hi Michelle! Yes, the nutrition is for the whole plate.
Reading the comments and your replies…. top notch. The “Do I do Low Carb”, loved it. Having done keto for the past 2 years, and now in maintain mode, this recipe looks delish and very inviting, thanks for sharing. I’ll be adding this to my list!!!
If You do not have a air fryer how else can you do the Zucchini
Hi! You can just pan fry them in a skillet with avocado oil spray for two minutes a side.
I don’t have an air fryer. How do you recommend I cook this?
Hi – you can do them in a skillet on your stove – just saute the zucchini slices, then cook the beef and then assemble 😀
Yummy, I have to try it!!!
Let me know if you make it!
Enjoyed your work.
Blessings to you .
Thank you , love your site. GOD bless you .good to met me.
Thank you!
This is really NOT a ketogenic recipe. I know you dropped the potatoes, however, that cheese spread, ketchup, etc are sugary carbs…. a ketogenic diet is less than 20 total grams of carbs for an entire day of food consumed. This recipe can be further modified to cut more carbs… please add disclaimer of hidden carbs and sugars so others are not mislead. Since I know how to modify further I will try this idea for sliders though! Thank you!
Hi! I know its not a keto recipe, but its been spread around 1000s of keto sites since I first posted it in July. I am on Weight Watchers and that’s how I portrayed it on my site. Glad you are inspired though!
Good Afternoon, I am looking for the nutritional facts? can someone post them for me to input in my food journal please.
Hi! I just added the nutrition – 296 calories, 16 carbs, 13 at, 27 protein 😀
What is “avocado spray?”
Are you referring to avocado oil spray?
Yep! Chosen Foods I think is the brand I use – I buy a two pack at Costco – avocado oil spray – sorry that wasn’t clear! 😀
Just a note, your recipe and photos were stolen and posted here: https://homediyrecipes.com/zucchini-slider-game-changer/ if you look at the source code they’re using your photo to autopopulate in social media posts.
Thank you – gah! It’s been used on 1000’s of keto sites on Instagram since I first posted it last July – thanks!
One plate is how many? Should write how many and what size each patty should be, instructions are to vague
Hi Veronica – the whole recipe is one serving – I’ll try to clarify the recipe – thanks for the heads up!
Do you cook the burger patties separately. And how? Don’t see how they’d cook between zucchini slices.
Hi! Yes, I cooked the burgers separately, then “built” the burger between the zucchini slices. Let me know if you have any other questions – thanks!
Yes, the burgers are cooked separately just in a skillet to desired doneness. 😀
What is 4 ounce leftover baked potato sliced into steak fries (3)???
I bake potatoes as part of my meal prep for the week. I cut the potatoes into steak fries and cook them in my air fryer – to make french fries. 😀
How many WW points?
The sliders are 7 points. With the potatoes it’s 11 points on my plan.
Directions kind of sketchy…do you cook or brown the zucchini at all? Your photo looks like you do.
Hi! Sorry, I’ll clarify it but I just pan fried the zucchini for about 2 minutes a side over medium heat. That’s it 😀
Delicious and can be enjoyed by All,I would fix for the prince’s and princesses baller party in other words granny’s birthday party and to get them and friends to eat veggies😃😀😃😀😀😀.Healthy kids Healthy retirement time.😃😀😃😀😀😃😄with people your age.!
