Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole medium zucchini
- 4 tablespoons ghee
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the 3 medium zucchinis and set them aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of ghee.
Mince the 2 cloves of garlic and add them to the skillet with the melted ghee. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat with the ghee and garlic.
Sauté the zucchini noodles for 3-5 minutes, or until they are just tender but not overly soft.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast over the noodles, followed by the juice from 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
Season the noodles with 0.25 teaspoon of sea salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, tossing everything together to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the zucchini noodles to a serving platter.
Finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the noodles as a garnish.
Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
