Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by washing the zucchini thoroughly. Using a spiralizer, create long zucchini noodles, also known as zoodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can also use a julienne peeler.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and become slightly golden, being careful not to burn.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss them gently with tongs to coat in the butter and garlic mixture.
Cook the zoodles for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Do not overcook to avoid them becoming mushy.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the cooked zoodles and toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Remove the skillet from heat and add the Parmesan cheese, tossing once more until the noodles are well coated and the cheese melts.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the noodles for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a low-carb main course. Enjoy your delightful Low Carb Buttered Noodles!
