Ingredients
- 4 large zucchini
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the zucchini. Use a spiralizer to create noodle-like spirals from the zucchini. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin, wide ribbons.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of ghee. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them gently with the ghee and garlic. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the noodles are just tender, but not mushy. Be careful not to overcook them.
Step 5
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the zucchini noodles and gently toss to combine. This will add a cheesy flavor while remaining Whole30-compliant.
Step 6
Season the noodles with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the noodles just before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Step 8
Serve the Whole30 Buttered Noodles immediately, either as a side dish or a light main course.
