Easy Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Noodles (Zoodles)
Description
The recipe starts with medium zucchinis spiralized into noodle shapes, offering a fresh and low-carb base. Quick sautéing of minced garlic in olive oil releases fragrant aromatics without browning. Adding the zucchini noodles allows just enough heat to soften without making them watery or mushy.
Finishing with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a contrasting salty and nutty flavor that complements the mild zucchini and garlic. A pinch of kosher salt and black pepper seasons the dish simply, enhancing the natural tastes.
This preparation serves well as a light side or a low-carb alternative to pasta and can be ready in minutes using fresh ingredients and minimal cooking steps. The brief cooking keeps the zucchini noodles tender but with slight bite, preserving texture.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 zucchini medium
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- salt to taste, Kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt
Instructions
- Slice the ends off the zucchini and place it on your spiralizer. Turn the spiralizer and create zucchini noodles.
- Heat the oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add the zucchini noodles and toss them for one minute, just to warm through, then turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle on the grated parmesan along with salt and pepper, give them another toss in the pan, then serve them up.
Notes
- Prepare zucchini noodles just before cooking to keep them firm and fresh.
- Use freshly minced garlic for best aroma and flavor release.
- Toss with Parmesan cheese off heat to prevent clumping and maintain creaminess.
- Adjust seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
