Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Whole zucchini, julienned
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 0.25 Cups grated Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps

1. Prepare the Zucchini: Use a spiralizer or mandoline to cut the zucchini into thin, noodle-like strips. This will create the perfect zoodles for your dish.
2. Drain the Zoodles: Toss the zucchini noodles with 2 teaspoons of salt and place them in a colander. Allow them to drain for 15 to 30 minutes to remove excess moisture, which will help them cook better.
3. Sauté the Zoodles: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Cook the Zoodles: Add the drained zucchini noodles to the skillet. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes until they are just tender. Be careful not to overcook them to maintain a slight crunch.
5. Season and Serve: Season the zoodles with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy zucchini noodles as a side dish or main course!
