Ingredients

• 2 large zucchini
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 2 large carrot
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 stalks green onion
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Using a spiralizer, spiralize the zucchinis and carrots to create noodles. Set them aside.

Step 2

Thinly slice the bell pepper into strips.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic and ginger.

Step 4

Slice green onions into small rings, keeping the green tops separate for garnishing.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the bell pepper strips to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 7

Add the spiralized zucchini and carrots to the skillet, stirring to combine with the bell pepper and aromatics. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the vegetable noodles are tender but still al dente.

Step 8

Pour in the coconut aminos and add the sliced green onions (white parts only), tossing everything together to coat the vegetables evenly in the sauce.

Step 9

Sprinkle red pepper flakes and sesame seeds over the vegetable noodles, stirring gently to mix.

Step 10

Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates.

Step 11

Garnish with the green tops of the green onions before serving.
