Ingredients

• 2 large Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons Chopped scallions (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by spiralizing the zucchini into long noodle-like strands using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler.

Step 2

Once spiralized, place the zucchini noodles in a colander and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Step 3

Rinse the salted zucchini noodles thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the dry zucchini noodles, garlic powder, onion powder, grated Parmesan cheese, almond flour, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the zucchini mixture in small batches to ensure crispiness. Spread the noodles evenly across the skillet.

Step 7

Allow the noodles to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes or until the bottom becomes golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Carefully flip the noodles using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until crispy.

Step 9

Remove the crispy noodles from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped scallions if desired and serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
