Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Spiralizer (or vegetable peeler/julienne peeler)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the zucchini thoroughly and trim off the ends. Using a spiralizer, vegetable peeler, or julienne peeler, create long, noodle-like strands from the zucchini.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until they are slightly softened but still have a bit of a bite. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become watery.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat and serve immediately. Zucchini noodles are best served fresh and can be paired with your favorite sauce or protein.

Notes

Zoodles are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional pasta. They are best served immediately to prevent them from becoming soggy.
