Basil-Lime Zucchini Noodles with Ginger
Fresh and vibrant, these zucchini noodles are delicately tossed with basil, zesty lime, and aromatic ginger to create a quick and refreshing side dish.
Ingredients
| 1 | large zucchini, spiralized |
|---|---|
| 1⁄2 | teaspoon salt |
| 1 | tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
| 5 | large basil leaves |
| 1 | 1-inch piece ginger root, peeled and sliced |
| 1⁄2 | juice of half a lime |
Instructions
| 1. | Prepare the zucchini by cutting it in half and spiralizing each half using a vegetable spiralizer. Place the zucchini noodles in a glass bowl, sprinkle with salt, and mix by hand. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes to release excess water. Rinse and pat dry. |

| 2. | In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles, basil leaves, and sliced ginger. Cook for about 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the noodles are tender but still firm. Avoid stirring to maintain the noodle shape. Drizzle with lime juice, toss to coat, and serve hot. |
