Homemade Zero Carb Zucchini Noodles.


Turns out it is very, very easy. Just slice the zucchini into long planks on a mandoline (or use a large chef’s knife). I like the 1/8 inch thickness, but 1/4 inch is more substantial and yummy, too. Then, steam them for just a minute or two. Really. They get too soggy if you steam them any longer. And don’t even think about boiling – just turns them into a pile of mush.

You can use them just like you would cooked spaghetti, or my favorite way: while they’re hot, stir in some olive oil and pressed garlic, salt and pepper. Instant Zucchini Heaven.
