Ingredients

For the almond butter sauce:

  • 1 tbsp MaraNatha almond butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar or rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey optional
  • 1 tsp garlic

For the zucchini noodles:

  • ½ tbsp sesame oil or oil of choice
  • 1 large zucchini peeled (or two medium zucchini)
  • 1 scallion chopped

Instructions

  • Add the almond butter, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir together until well combined. Set aside.
  • Use a spiralizer to make your zucchini noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can make pappardelle style noodles by simply running a vegetable peeler over the zucchini repeatedly.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • Pour the almond butter sauce into the skillet with the zucchini noodles. Stir well to coat the noodles and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Plate your zucchini noodles and garnish with scallions. Enjoy!
