Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchinis spiralized or cut with a julienne peeler
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil divided
- 12 ounces garlic sausage sliced into ¾-inch pieces
- 1 large onion sliced thick
- 3 bell peppers sliced
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 4 roma tomatoes diced
- 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Place the zoodles in a large bowl and sprinkle the sea salt over top. Mix them around a little then set them aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic sausage and cook until brown on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and increase the heat to high.
- Add the remaining teaspoon of oil, the onions, peppers, and garlic and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, and chili flakes to the pan and cook until the tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage back into the pan and season with salt, if needed.
- Rinse the zoodles well under warm tap water. You want to remove all the salt. Ring the zoodles dry with your hands then add them to the pan. Toss and heat through before serving.
