Ingredients

2 large zucchini
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Trim ends of zucchini. Using a spiralizer, shave zucchini into thin strands. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini; cook until slightly softened, 1-2 minutes, tossing constantly with tongs (do not overcook). Sprinkle with salt. Serve as-is, or with sauce of choice.

These quick and easy zucchini noodles can be served plain or with sauce. They're a great gluten-free alternative to pasta and cook in just a few minutes. —Julie Andrews, Rockford, Michigan
