Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free honey substitute
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Begin by carefully slicing the zucchinis into thin, apple-like slices. This step is crucial as the shape helps to mimic the texture of apples.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with lemon juice and ground cinnamon. Toss well to ensure the slices are evenly coated.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the seasoned zucchini slices.
Cook the zucchini for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want them to be tender but not overly soft, to maintain a slight crunch reminiscent of fresh apples.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the zucchini slices onto a serving platter.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the sugar-free honey substitute over low heat. Stir in the pure vanilla extract and kosher salt until well combined and warmed through.
Drizzle the warm honey mixture over the cooked zucchini slices. Serve immediately to enjoy a warm, sweet, keto-friendly treat.
