Ingredients

– 4 medium zucchinis

Instructions

Creating Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Noodles is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and trim the ends. Use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to create noodles. Set aside.

2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

3. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4. Add Zucchini Noodles: Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. If using, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes for extra heat.

5. Cook the Noodles: Cook the noodles for 4-5 minutes, tossing occasionally. You want them to be tender but still slightly crisp.

6. Add Parmesan: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Toss until the noodles are well coated.

7. Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
