Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (any color)

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Juice of 1 lemon (optional, for brightness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles from the zucchinis. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips or simply chop the zucchinis into thin matchstick pieces.

    Sauté Veggies: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

      Add Bell Peppers and Tomatoes: Toss in the sliced bell peppers and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crisp.

        Incorporate Zucchini Noodles: Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, making sure the zucchini noodles are well-coated and heated through.

          Cheesy Finish: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt slightly. If desired, squeeze the juice of the lemon over the stir fry for added flavor.

            Garnish and Serve: Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delightful Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Noodle Stir Fry!
