'Tis the season for Zucchini! So if you'd like to enjoy your summer garden's bounty (or someone else's), dig on in to this recipe.
It's a light lunch you can throw together fast. : )
10 min Zoodle Bowl
Serves 1, easy to double/3x/4x
In a medium sized fry pan on medium heat, add:
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil.
Throw in:
- 1-2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp basil, dried
Stir well.
Add:
- 1 large zucchini, peeled and spiralized with handheld spiralizer*
- dash of salt, to taste
- dash of black pepper, to taste
Sautee for ~3-5min, until to your desired "noodle" done-ness (al dente or softer, your choice, just don't cook it to mush!)
Place in bowl, and add:
- ~1-2 tsp more olive oil drizzle
- 6 cherry/grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
- ~1 Tbsp slivered almonds (almonds are best but these also work: pine nuts, raw sunflower seeds, crumbled walnut halves)
- spinkle of Nooch (Nutritional Yeast, optional)
Pair with:
- bread or crackers (your choice, whatever you have available; gluten-free if needed)
- fruit for a happy finale to lunch; optional
*Handheld spiralizers are easy to find on Amazon. I have one from Oxo that cost less than $15.
This little bowl is more filling than it looks, especially if you finish off with some fruit.
