Zucchini Noodles
Zucchini noodles bring a refreshing twist to your meal with their light, crisp texture and vibrant green color. In just 15 minutes of prep and a mere 3 minutes of cooking, you’ll have a dish that’s as quick as it is satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3 medium zucchini spiralized
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
- Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30-60 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the zucchini noodles. Cook for about 2 minutes, constantly tossing gently with kitchen tongs, until the water releases from the zucchini and it begins to feel tender.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the noodles to a fine mesh strainer to drain off as much of the water as possible. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste. Serve garnished with Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper.
