Ingredients

1 large zucchini, sliced
cooking spray
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
2 tablespoons sliced black olives
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
8 slices pickled jalapeno pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Prepare zucchini by trimming the ends and using a mandoline on the thinnest setting to create 1/8-inch slices. Remove excess moisture by placing slices between paper towels and pressing down.
Lightly coat zucchini slices with cooking spray on a cutting board. Sprinkle one side with taco seasoning, then lightly mist that side with cooking spray as well. Arrange seasoned-side up on a microwave-safe plate, ensuring no overlap. Microwave on high for 2 minutes 30 seconds. Flip carefully and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining zucchini slices.
Distribute zucchini chips evenly between 2 microwave-safe plates. Top with black olives, red onion, jalapeno peppers, and Cheddar cheese. Microwave on high until the cheese is melted, approximately 30 seconds.
