Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- Zucchini (2 medium, spiralized)
- Avocado (1 ripe)
- Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
- Garlic (1 clove, minced)
- Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
Instructions
- Wash and trim the zucchini, then use a spiralizer to create long, thin zucchini noodles (zoodles). Pat the zoodles dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to the avocado. Blend until smooth and creamy, creating a silky avocado sauce.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the zoodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to prevent overcooking. The zoodles should be slightly tender but still maintain a slight crunch.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside.
- Remove zoodles from heat and transfer to serving plates.
- Drizzle the creamy avocado sauce generously over the warm zoodles.
- Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately while zoodles are warm and sauce is fresh.
Tips
- Pat your zoodles completely dry to prevent a watery sauce and ensure perfect texture.
- Use a high-quality, ripe avocado for the smoothest, creamiest sauce possible.
- Don't overcook the zoodles - they should retain a slight crunch for the best mouthfeel.
- For extra flavor, consider adding red pepper flakes or fresh herbs like basil to your avocado sauce.
- If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create zucchini ribbons.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the zoodles at their peak temperature and texture.
- For meal prep, keep the zoodles and sauce separate until just before serving to maintain freshness.
