Keto Hasselback Zucchini
Hasselback zucchini are just as good as hasselback potatoes, if not better! Each squash is loaded with melty cheddar cheese and crispy bacon bits. Hasselback zucchini makes an excellent side dish next to your main course, or you can divide up the zucchini for your weekly meal prep! About 2 zucchini should fulfill your recipe yield, which is perfect for filling the tummies of a family of four!

Recipe Steps
steps 4
45 min
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the bacon by cooking it until crispy in a skillet on high heat. Set the bacon aside to cool and chop it into bits when ready.Step 2
Prepare the zucchini by slicing thin slices throughout the squash without slicing all the way through, just like you would a hasselback potato. Remove the end of each zucchini as well. Place the sliced zucchini in a baking dish sprayed with pan spray.Step 3
Slice the 2 tablespoons of cold butter into thin slices - about ten or more, if possible. Push the butter slices in between various slices of zucchini. Next, sprinkle the cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, salt, and pepper evenly across each zucchini.Step 4
Bake the zucchini, uncovered, in the oven for 30 minutes until the squash is easy to pull apart with a fork and the cheese turns golden.

This is so easy to make and tastes delicious, I will be using zucchini bases more often from now on. Maybe as a pizza base too.

Substituted cut slices of havarti between the zucchini cuts and sprinkled an Italian mix of shredded cheeses on top, followed by the bacon, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. It was amazing!!!

Loved this! Used leftovers the next morning for breakfast with a fried egg on top. Yummy!

Melted butter sounds a lot easier. Thanks for the tip!

Don’t know what I did wrong but cheese melted away and zucchini was hard won’t make it again

Made these tonight and will definitely make again. Tip to hasselback zucchini or potato. Lay two wooden spoons side by side, place the zucchini between and begin the cuts. This keeps the zucchini stable from rolling and also ensures that cuts only go to the top of the spoons and not through the zucchini. Enjoy!

Also works well using chopsticks instead of spoons, and you don't risk cutting your wooden spoon handles. :)

👍🏽Great suggestion with the spoons.

These are really delicious & easy to make! I too melted the butter & poured it on. My husband really loved it.

Super yummy! It's a little difficult to get anything in between the slices but it still works on top and on sides. I used a previous comment recommendation to melt butter first and pour it over top before the other ingredients, worked perfectly!

These are delicious! I never tried the potato version but the soft zucchini with cheese and bacon is just amazing. I used turkey bacon because that's all I had and instead of cutting butter thin I just melted it and poured it over the zucchinis, worked great. I will definitely be making these again, so easy and yummy.

Thank you for the idea to just melt the butter and pour it onto the cut zucchini!
