Description

Transform zucchini into long strands that resemble noodles, also known as zoodles. Mix pesto and garbanzo beans into the zoodles for a satisfying, grain-free meal!

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 small zucchini, cut into noodle-shape strands
  • ½ cup drained and rinsed canned garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
  • 3 tablespoons pesto, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons shredded white Cheddar cheese, or to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir zucchini until tender and liquid has evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. 2. Stir garbanzo beans and pesto into zucchini; lower heat to medium-low. Cook and stir until garbanzo beans are warm and zucchini is evenly coated, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
  3. 3. Transfer zucchini mixture to serving bowls and top with white Cheddar cheese.
