Ingredients

  • 2 Zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil


Directions

  1. Wash zucchini.  Do not peel.  Cut off ends.
  2. Insert zucchini into one end of the spiralizer and hold over bowl or cutting board.
  3. Twist zucchini until there is nothing left to twist.
  4. Generously salt zucchini noodles and blot dry with paper towels or tea towel.
  5. Cut zucchini into smaller strips with kitchen shears or knife.
  6. Add zoodles, oil, and spices to pot or pan and saute for about 2 minutes.  (A pot will keep any spatter away from you and will keep contents from spilling out.)
