Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup dairy-free parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to turn the zucchinis into spaghetti-like noodles. Set the zucchini noodles (zoodles) aside.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm for about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them gently with tongs to coat evenly in the garlic and olive oil.
Step 6
Cook the zucchini noodles for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just tender but still have a slight bite. Avoid overcooking, as they can become mushy.
Step 7
Sprinkle the dairy-free parmesan cheese, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the zucchini noodles. Toss gently to combine and coat evenly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a main or side dish and enjoy your dairy-free zucchini spaghetti!
