Directions

  1. Cut zucchini in half to help it fit in the spiralizer. Run each half through the large teeth of a vegetable spiralizer. Put zucchini noodles into a glass bowl and sprinkle with salt. Toss with your hands to mix. Let rest for 10 minutes to remove excess water. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini noodles, basil leaves, and ginger. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the noodles are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Do not stir so zucchini noodles stay intact. Drizzle with lime juice and toss to coat. Serve hot.

Recipe Note

Spiralized zucchini noodles are tossed with fresh basil, lime, and ginger for a quick and refreshing side dish. I serve these with grilled chicken and pineapple skewers.
