These nachos look Fabulous. I’ve got zucchini in the fridge and would like to follow this recipe.
Let me know what you think of them! They’re so yummy and easy to make. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to “regular” nachos with chips after having these. lol

This is a different way to approach zucchini. Does the zucchini stay crisp or does it get soggy because it is a watery vegetable? The flavors sound like they would be great together.
This looks so yummy. I love the mix of veggies and the sour cream too. Nachos are fun and this is a great healthy spin on them
I love this healthy twist. Sounds really good!
These looks so delicious. Definitely going to try them. Thank you for sharing.
