Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat ensures beautifully caramelized vegetables.
- On a baking sheet, toss bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onion with olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Spread veggies evenly and roast for 15–20 minutes, until tender and caramelized on the edges.
- While veggies roast, spiralize zucchini into zoodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler.
- Place zoodles in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let sit 5–10 minutes to draw out moisture.
- Pat zoodles dry using paper towels or a clean cloth to prevent sogginess.
- Sauté dried zoodles in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Combine sautéed zoodles and roasted vegetables. Toss gently, garnish with fresh basil, and serve immediately.
Notes
To boost protein, toss in chickpeas or grilled chicken. For a cheesy finish, add Parmesan or nutritional yeast. Don’t skip salting and drying the zoodles — it’s key to avoiding sogginess. Finish with fresh basil and a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
