  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into rice-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and spiralize the zucchinis into rice-like pieces; halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion.
  2. Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart. When browned, add garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until fragrant and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In a separate pan, sauté red onion until translucent, add cherry tomatoes, cook for 2 minutes, then add spiralized zucchini and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Layer zucchini rice, ground beef, and sautéed vegetables in bowls. Top with feta and parsley, drizzle with olive oil if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of tahini before serving.
  • Use grass-fed beef for an even healthier option.
  • This dish can be easily doubled for meal prepping.
