Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini Noodles

    Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, create ribbon-like strips of zucchini. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop the bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Zucchini Ribbons

    In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the zucchini ribbons and cook for about 2-3 minutes until just tender.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the roasted vegetables to the skillet with the zucchini ribbons. Toss gently to combine. Stir in fresh basil and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm.
