Steps

1. Wash the zucchini thoroughly and trim off the ends. Using a spiralizer or a julienne peeler, create long, thin strands of zucchini noodles. Alternatively, you can also use a sharp knife to carefully slice the zucchini into thin noodle-like strips.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and sauté them for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become too soft.
3. Season the zucchini noodles with salt and pepper to taste. Toss them gently in the skillet to ensure even seasoning.
4. Transfer the cooked zucchini noodles to serving plates. If desired, top them with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, or your choice of cooked protein for added flavor and texture.
5. Serve the Keto Healthy Zucchini Noodles as a standalone dish or as a base for your favorite keto-friendly sauces or stir-fries. Enjoy the delicious flavors and the guilt-free satisfaction of a healthy, low-carb meal.
