Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis (approx. 1 lb / 450g)
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves (6g) garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 pinch (0.5g) red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Spiralize the zucchini into long ribbons. Place them in a colander, sprinkle with the kosher salt, and toss gently. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then rinse quickly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30–60 seconds until the garlic is pale gold.
  3. Increase heat to high. Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and toss constantly with tongs for 2 to 3 minutes until glossy and slightly softened but still firm. Season with black pepper and remove from heat immediately.
