Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis and slice off the ends. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, shave the zucchini into thin ribbons.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the zucchini ribbons to the skillet and toss gently with tongs for 2–3 minutes, just until slightly softened.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the zucchini ribbons to a serving bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the lemon dressing over the zucchini ribbons and toss to coat evenly.
Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy a light keto-friendly side dish.
