1 Prepare Ingredients

Preheat oven to 200°C. Peel and medium dice the onion. Cut zucchini in half lengthways, remove seeds and grate on a box grater. Roughly chop tomato. Slice spring onion. Roughly chop baby spinach leaves (optional for those who prefer to hide their spinach). Cut lime into wedges.

4 Simmer Vegetables

Add zucchini, chopped tomato, a big handful of spinach (to taste) and 12 cup of water. Bring to a boil, season, then reduce the heat to a simmer for 8-10 minutes, until liquid has reduced slightly. Check seasoning and adjust as needed.

Step 5

5 Cook Nachos

Spread corn chips over a lined baking tray or ovenproof serving dish. Add nut mince and veggie mix and top with grated cheese. Place in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
