Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly.
Using a spiralizer, julienne peeler, or knife, cut the zucchini into spaghetti-like noodles. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring regularly, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be cautious not to burn the garlic.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet, and toss to coat them in the garlic and olive oil mixture.
Cook the noodles for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
Season the zucchini noodles with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the noodles. Toss gently to combine and melt the cheese slightly.
Transfer the zucchini spaghetti to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly, low-carb meal!
