Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 large Carrots (thick for effective spiralizing)
- 2 medium Zucchini (for best results)
- 1 medium Yellow Squash (avoid oversized for optimal spiralizing)
- 1 medium Chopped Onion (Yellow or White)
- 3 cloves Minced Garlic (the key flavor)
Oils & Fats
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (or other vegetable oils)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (for creamy flavor)
Seasonings
- To taste Salt (enhances flavor)
- To taste Pepper (adjust according to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Basil (or use fresh for better flavor)
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano (or Italian seasoning as an alternative)
Instructions
- Spiralize Carrots. Begin by spiralizing the thick carrots to create noodle-like strands, then set them aside for later use.
- Prepare Other Veggies. Spiralize the zucchini and yellow squash, combining these in a bowl for ease of cooking.
- Heat Fats. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the olive oil alongside the unsalted butter until fully combined and warm.
- Sauté Onions and Carrot Noodles. Add the chopped onions and carrot noodles to the pan, sautéing for 3-5 minutes until the onions soften and the carrots slightly tenderize.
- Add Garlic and Seasonings. Stir in the minced garlic along with salt, pepper, dried basil, and oregano. Cook for another minute to release the garlic’s aroma and blend flavors.
- Cook Zucchini and Squash. Incorporate the zucchini and yellow squash noodles, sautéing them for approximately 5 minutes until they become tender but still retain a slight bite.
- Final Taste and Serve. Adjust the seasonings if needed and serve your veggie noodles warm, enjoying a nutritious and vibrant meal.
Notes
- For best results, use firm and fresh vegetables to maintain texture after spiralizing.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs instead of dried for a brighter flavor.
- You can substitute unsalted butter with all butter or vegan butter to suit dietary preferences.
- Adjust cooking times slightly depending on your stovetop and desired noodle firmness.
