Want to make it a complete meal? Toss on some chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, or even steak for that extra protein punch. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get noodling!

What you’ll need (for 4 servings of zucchini magic):

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• A pinch of salt
• 1 tablespoon almond flour
• 4 large zucchinis (your new noodle BFFs!)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (smell-o-vision on)
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more if you’re a spicy hero)
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions (let’s get cookin’!):

1. Heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat. Wait about 2 minutes – this is your time to relax and prep. Once it’s hot and ready, toss in the coconut oil, and as soon as it’s melted, add the almond flour and a pinch of salt. Stir, stir, stir (like you’re in a cooking show), until it turns a toasty brown. About 2 minutes. Then, scoop those crumbs out of the pan and save them for the grand finale!
2. Now, grab your zucchini noodles (aka your soon-to-be culinary masterpiece) and throw them into the skillet. Sauté them until they’re just tender – 1 to 2 minutes tops. Turn that heat down to low and keep it chill.
3. In another pan (yes, we’re multitasking now), heat up olive oil over low heat. Toss in the garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring like you mean it, until it smells absolutely amazing. About 20 seconds will do.
4. Now, combine the zucchini noodles with that glorious garlic-oil mix. Toss and stir like a pro until those noodles are perfectly coated in garlicky goodness.
5. Turn off the heat, sprinkle in parsley, salt, and black pepper. Finally, top with those crunchy almond flour crumbs you saved earlier (it’s like the cherry on top, but crunchier).
6. Boom. You’ve got yourself a fun, healthy, and seriously delicious plate of zucchini noodles. Serve with some extra protein, and prepare to enjoy every bite!
