Directions

Step

Use a spiralizer or a julienne peeler to create long, thin zucchini noodles. Set aside.

Step

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step

Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them in the garlic-infused oil. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the noodles are slightly tender but still have a crunch. Be careful not to overcook them, as zucchini noodles can become mushy quickly.

Step

Sprinkle the dried Italian herbs over the zucchini noodles and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to ensure even distribution of the herbs and seasoning.

Step

If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the noodles for a refreshing tang. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added burst of flavor and aroma.

Step

Transfer the zucchini noodles to serving plates or bowls. Enjoy them as is for a light and refreshing meal, or pair them with your favorite vegan sauce or toppings for added variety.

Tips for this recipe

To prevent the zucchini noodles from becoming watery, lightly salt them and let them sit for a few minutes after spiralizing. This helps draw out excess moisture from the zucchini. Before cooking, pat the noodles dry with a paper towel. This step will result in firmer and less watery zucchini noodles, ensuring a better texture for your dish.
