Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles (about 4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic: Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their flavor and aroma for the sauté.
- Heat the Oil and Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn it.
- Cook the Zoodles: Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the garlic oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zoodles are just tender but still slightly crisp.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the zoodles and toss once more to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Serve Immediately: Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the garlic-infused zoodles to serving plates. Serve hot as a light main course or a side dish.
Notes
- The zoodles cook very quickly; avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes or grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
- Use a sharp spiralizer or a julienne peeler for uniform zucchini noodles.
- This recipe works well as a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to pasta.
