About

This keto open sandwich uses griddled zucchini slices as a base for a classic bacon, lettuce and tomato topping.

This makes a great lunch option for one or a snack for two, perfect served as it is or with a helping of mayonnaise!

Ingredients

  • 4 slice – 6" long bacon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cherry cherry tomato
  • ½ medium zucchini
  • ⅓ cup iceberg lettuce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice the ends of the zucchini and discard. Carefully cut the zucchini lengthways so that you have two strips, each roughly 1/4 inch thick. Season the zucchini with a little salt and pepper and drizzle with a half tablespoon of olive oil. Rub the oil and seasoning into both sides of the zucchini.
  2. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Arrange the seasoned zucchini strips in the pan and cook for 2 minutes each side or until just tender and char lines appear.
  3. Whilst the zucchini is cooking, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over a medium heat. Add the bacon and cook through until crisp and golden.
  4. Roughly shred the lettuce and divide between the two zucchini strips.
  5. Arrange the crispy bacon over the lettuce.
  6. Slice the cherry tomatoes and arrange on top of the bacon to serve.
