Sebzeli Zucchini is a delightful low-carb Turkish pasta dish that highlights the fresh flavors of zucchini and vibrant vegetables, making it both satisfying and healthy. This dish is perfect for those seeking a nourishing meal without the added carbs of traditional pasta.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium-sized
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Yellow bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Cherry tomatoes - 200 grams, halved
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (optional)
• Fresh basil - for garnish

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
4. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.
5. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.
6. Remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
