Burgers please! Skip the bun...

Indulge guilt-free with this low carb burger - all the flavor, less of the carbs!

Let me be clear... there is absolutely nothing wrong with eating a burger bun, but sometimes you might be craving something light, wanting something new, or even looking for ways to incorporate more vegetables.

These are too cute to eat!! – James B

If you are following ketosis or simply looking for a lower carb option, these sliders are worth trying! Besides how adorable they look, they are packed with flavor and I promise will leave you satisfied. Two of my favorite things about making these are that you can top them with literally anything and they make for a perfect appetizer or even snack. When the zucchinis are properly cooked, I promise they wont fall apart.
