• 2 zucchini, peeled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• cup water
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1: Use a vegetable peeler to cut long, wide strips down one side of one zucchini until you reach the seeds. Turn the zucchini and repeat on the three remaining sides. Repeat with the second zucchini. Discard the cores of the zucchini.

Step 2: Stack the zucchini strips on top of each other. Then, cut thin strips lengthwise along the stack. These strips will resemble spaghetti noodles.

Step 3: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for about 1 minute.

Step 4: Add the water to the skillet and continue cooking until the zucchini becomes soft and the water evaporates, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 5: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
