Cooking Intructions
 

  1. Spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Set aside and lightly salt if you want to reduce moisture.
    2 cup Zucchini
  2. Heat a pan on medium (no oil needed for zero-fat). Add minced garlic and 1–2 tablespoons of water. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
    2 cloves Garlic, 2 tbsp Water
  3. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and seasonings (salt, pepper, chili flakes). Stir and let it simmer for 1 more minute.
    2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice, 1/2 tbsp Lemon zest, 1/4 tbsp Salt, 1/4 tbsp Black pepper, 1/8 tbsp Red Chilli Flakes
  4. Add zucchini noodles to the pan. Toss for 2–3 minutes until just softened (don’t overcook—they should be slightly crunchy).
  5. Turn off the heat. Add chopped parsley and optional nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor.
    tbsp Olive oil, 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, 1/2 tsp Nutritional yeast
  6. Serve immediately, warm or room temp.
