Instructions

  1. Step 1: Spiralize zucchini into noodles using a julienne peeler, then toss with 1/2 tsp sea salt in a colander to draw out excess water. Let drain for 5 minutes while prepping other ingredients.
  2. Step 2: Thinly slice ginger and mince lemon zest. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add asparagus spears to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until crisp-tender. Toss in drained zucchini noodles, lemon zest, and basil, then cook for 2 minutes until zucchini is tender but still slightly al dente.
