Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Zucchini: Using a spiralizer, transform the zucchini into noodles. Choose your preferred thickness – delicate strands or hearty ribbons. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Infuse the Flavors: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant, releasing its savory essence (about 1 minute).

03

Step

Sauté the Zucchini: Introduce the zucchini noodles to the skillet, gently tossing them in the aromatic butter-garlic mixture. Sauté until the noodles soften slightly, achieving your desired tenderness. This should take approximately 3 to 5 minutes.

04

Step

Brighten with Lemon: Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon-pepper seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt to taste. Remove from the heat.

05

Step

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley and lemon zest over the noodles, adding a final touch of freshness and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy the bright flavors of this delightful dish. (2 minutes)

For added depth of flavor, consider browning the butter slightly before adding the garlic.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as basil or thyme.
A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese adds a lovely savory note.
If you don't have lemon-pepper seasoning, use regular black pepper and a pinch more lemon zest.

    My kids even loved it! I omitted the red pepper flakes for them, and it was still packed with flavor.
