I simply LOVE this recipe low carb zucchini noodles<\/strong>! Super practical and quick to prepare, not to mention that it is low carb and vegetarian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I choose the ingredients based on what I have available at home. You just need to follow a low-carb diet and use your creativity to make this simple recipe. Sometimes I make it with red sauce, other times I make it with pesto, which is the case with the one in the photo above.<\/p>\n

I had some leftover leeks, red peppers, and pesto sauce at home, and that's basically what I used. So let's get to the ingredients and how I prepared it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Low carb zucchini noodles | Ingredients for one serving<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 zucchini<\/a> medium (cut into spirals or very thin slices)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leek<\/a> (the quantity will depend on your taste)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Red pepper<\/a> in strips<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Garlic <\/a>Chopped beef plate<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oil <\/a>or coconut oil<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pesto sauce (preferably homemade)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Feta cheese<\/a> (if you like) or pumpkin seeds<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seasoning to taste (I used salt, black pepper, oregano)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Low carb zucchini noodles | Preparation method:<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fry the garlic, leek and bell pepper in olive oil or coconut oil. When fried to your liking, add the pesto sauce (approximately 1 level tablespoon), let it fry a little and add the zucchini. Stir and cover the pan for approximately 2-3 minutes. Then just serve and sprinkle with cheese or seeds (or both!).<\/p>\n

And help yourself!<\/p>\n

A good accompaniment to this dish is grilled salmon (it's always important to add a source of protein).<\/p>\n
