Ingredients

• 4 large Carrots
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots. Using a spiralizer, julienne peeler, or vegetable peeler, create long, thin strands or ribbons to resemble noodles. Set aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Add the carrot noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the oil and garlic mixture.

Step 6

Season the carrot noodles with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally until the noodles are just tender but still slightly crisp (al dente).

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the carrot noodles with lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.

Step 8

Transfer the carrot noodles to serving plates. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
