Zucchini Noodles Low-Carb

Ingredients

• 4 -5 zucchini
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 dash salt
• 1 dash pepper

Instructions

1. Get out your best vegetable peeler (it must be SHARP).
2. “Peel” strips off the zucchini, going around the length of the veggie in an equal manner so that you make strips of equal length and thickness - you’ll get the hang of it after one zucchini so have an extra available for practice.
3. After you have peeled a bowl full of strips, add olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Don’t add too much olive oil. Let the bowl sit out for 1 hour to “temper” the noodles, tossing once or twice (I like to toss with my hands, the zucchini strips feel silky and wonderful!)
4. Place in fridge after one hour until ready to use (will keep for one day).
5. I serve this with meatballs and sauce, plain, or with grated cheese. Some people actually boil these noodles briefly (blanche) but I prefer them raw.
