Ingredients
- 3 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the zucchini thoroughly. Using a spiralizer, create long zucchini noodles, also known as zoodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can also use a julienne peeler.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and become slightly golden, being careful not to burn.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet. Toss them gently with tongs to coat in the butter and garlic mixture.
Step 6
Cook the zoodles for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Do not overcook to avoid them becoming mushy.
Step 7
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the cooked zoodles and toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and add the Parmesan cheese, tossing once more until the noodles are well coated and the cheese melts.
Step 9
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the noodles for a fresh touch.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish or a low-carb main course. Enjoy your delightful Low Carb Buttered Noodles!
