Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (optional)
Instructions
Start by spiralizing the zucchini into long noodle-like strands using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler.
Once spiralized, place the zucchini noodles in a colander and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Rinse the salted zucchini noodles thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the dry zucchini noodles, garlic powder, onion powder, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the zucchini mixture in small batches to ensure crispiness. Spread the noodles evenly across the skillet.
Allow the noodles to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom becomes golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the noodles using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until crispy.
Remove the crispy noodles from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Garnish with chopped scallions if desired and serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
