Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the medium zucchinis. Set the noodles aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the thinly sliced scallions and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, coconut aminos, and fresh lime juice until smooth to create the sauce.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss gently with the cooked scallions and bell pepper.
Pour the almond butter sauce over the zucchini noodles. Toss to coat all ingredients evenly, cooking for another 2-3 minutes just until the zucchini noodles are warm but not mushy.
Season the dish with sea salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using, adjusting to taste.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
