Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 medium zucchinis
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Start by turning your zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons. Set your zucchini noodles aside.
  2. For the lemon-garlic sauce, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Return the pan to the heat and add the zucchini noodles. Toss them in the lemon-garlic sauce until they’re well-coated and slightly softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the zucchini noodles with the chopped parsley before serving.
