Ingredients
-
2 medium zucchini, spiralized
-
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
-
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
-
Fresh basil (optional, for topping)
Instructions
-
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles. Place on paper towels, sprinkle lightly with salt, and set aside to release extra water.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
-
Add cherry tomatoes, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until softened and juicy.
-
Pat zoodles dry and add them to the skillet. Toss gently for 2–3 minutes until just tender.
-
Remove from heat, sprinkle parmesan, and toss again.
-
Serve hot with fresh basil and extra parmesan if desired.
Notes
-
Don’t overcook zoodles; they release water fast. Keep them firm.
-
Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or bacon for extra protein.
-
Best eaten fresh. If meal prepping, store zucchini noodles raw and add them to sauce right before serving.
