Ingredients Servings: 4

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • A dash of salt
  • 1 Tablespoon almond flour
  • 4 large zucchinis, playfully peeled with a veggie peeler
  • 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (vampires, beware!)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or go wild and add more!)
  • 1 Tablespoon minced parsley (for that fresh party vibe)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat up a large skillet, and let the excitement build for about two minutes. Throw in the coconut oil, and once it’s feeling melty, add the almond flour and a pinch of salt.
  2. Stir the mix with a wooden spoon until it’s rocking a toasty brown hue – around two minutes of kitchen dance. Scoop out those crumbs and stash them for the grand garnish finale.
  3. Now, in the same skillet, let those zucchini noodles hit the stage. Sauté them until they’re just tender, about one to two minutes. Lower the heat, and let the veggie show begin.
  4. In a new pan (because we’re all about multitasking), set the heat to low, throw in olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir with flair until it’s fragrant – we’re talking a mere 20 seconds of aromatic disco.
  5. Time to bring the zucchini noodles into the garlic and oil fiesta. Toss and stir until they’re dancing with flavor.
  6. Kill the heat, and sprinkle in parsley, salt, and black pepper. Top it off with those almond flour crumbs you saved earlier. Cue the confetti – it’s time to savor the party on your plate! Enjoy!
