Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups frozen mixed berries
1 cup lowfat vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons honey, optional
2 frozen ripe bananas
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 small jalapeno pepper, minced with some seeds
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
3 large zucchini or yellow summer squash, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped roasted red pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
8 large eggs
4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted

Steps:

  • For the smoothies: Combine the berries, yogurt, orange juice, honey and bananas together in a blender, and puree until smooth. Divide evenly among four glasses and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the "hash browns": Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the sage, garlic and jalapenos and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the vinegar, squash, 3/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper, and stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash begins to soften, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover and add the red pepper and half of the parsley. Cook until the squash is completely soft and lightly brown, 6 to 8 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
  • Make 8 small indentations in the squash with a measuring cup or the back of a ladle. Crack the eggs into the indentations and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return the pan to medium heat, cover and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
  • Divide the "hash browns" and eggs evenly among four plates. Serve each with a smoothie and 1 slice of toast.

This is a basic recipe, but feel free to include such add-ins as different cheeses, eggs, bell pepper, chives, or a variety of herbs and spices to change up the flavor. And as a bonus, you can cook your bacon in the oven at the same time, just not as long.

ZUCCHINI HASH BROWNS



Zucchini Hash Browns image

This is for those of us how love hash browns but hash browns can't be in the diet. Great for diabetic and low cholesterol diets. Also this is a great use of the George Forman Grill.

Provided by nightfall20252

Categories     Breakfast

Time 17m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium zucchini
1/2 cup egg substitute (Egg Beaters) or 2 eggs
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Shredd the zucchini as you would potatoes for hash browns.
  • Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Place on a George Foreman Grill in 1/2 cup portions. Cook for about 7 minutes or until golden brown. Note: If you do not have a George Foreman, you can pan fry each side until golden brown. Frying them is still tasty but less healthy (because of the oil), and they fall apart more easily.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for medium-sized zucchini that are firm and heavy. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Shred the zucchini evenly. Use a box grater or a food processor fitted with a shredding blade to shred the zucchini. Shredding the zucchini evenly will help it cook evenly.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini. Place the shredded zucchini in a colander and use your hands to squeeze out the excess moisture. This will help prevent the hash browns from becoming watery.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet. A well-seasoned skillet will help prevent the hash browns from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can season it by heating it over medium heat and adding a tablespoon of oil. Swirl the oil around the skillet until it coats the entire surface. Then, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool.
  • Cook the hash browns over medium heat. Cooking the hash browns over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the hash browns carefully. Once the hash browns are golden brown on the bottom, carefully flip them over. Use a spatula to gently loosen the hash browns from the skillet before flipping them.
  • Serve the hash browns immediately. Zucchini hash browns are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served with eggs, bacon, sausage, or your favorite breakfast sides.

Conclusion:

Zucchini hash browns are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are a great way to use up leftover zucchini, and they are also a healthier alternative to traditional hash browns. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
