Ingredients
- 4 medium (spiralized into noodles) Zucchini
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 cloves (thinly sliced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (finely grated, optional for garnish) Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by spiralizing the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a julienne peeler or purchase pre-cut zoodles from the store.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is warm, add the sliced garlic and sauté gently for about 1-2 minutes, or until it becomes fragrant and starts to turn golden (be careful not to burn it).
Step 4
Stir in the red pepper flakes and toast them in the oil for about 30 seconds to release their flavor.
Step 5
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the garlic-infused oil.
Step 6
Cook the zucchini noodles for about 3-4 minutes, tossing frequently. They should be tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
Step 7
Season the dish with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top. Toss once more to combine.
Step 9
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for additional flavor (optional for strict keto).
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious and satisfying Keto Spaghetti Aglio Olio!
