Sautéed Shredded Zucchini

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 lbs fresh zucchini ends trimmed
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 Tbsp clarified butter or ghee
  • 3-4 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes or to taste
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella freshly shredded
  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese freshly shredded

Instructions

  • Use the grating attachment of your food processor to quickly grate the zucchini.
  • Alternatively, you can use a hand grater with a large grate.
  • Place your grated zucchini in a colander then very lightly sprinkle with sea salt. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes.
  • Blot your zucchini of excess moisture with paper towels. The salt should have drawn out a bit of water from them, so gently pat them dry.
  • Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of your grated zucchini with a towel.
  • Heat your oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add in your grated zucchini and cook, stirring frequently, for about 6 minutes.
  • Season with sea salt, pepper, and chili flakes to your taste.
  • While your skillet is still on the heat, sprinkle zucchini with your freshly shredded cheeses. Stir to combine and allow it to melt nicely and evenly into the zucchini.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
