Zucchini Noodles with Basil, Lime, and Ginger image

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.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large zucchini
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
5 large basil leaves
1 (1 inch) piece ginger root, peeled and sliced
½ lime, juiced

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
