Ingredients

2 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pinch salt to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

Use a spiralizer to cut zucchini into thick or thin ribbons, your preference.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add zucchini and toss to coat with the butter-garlic sauce. Saute until zucchini noodles are slightly softened or have reached desired tenderness, 3 to 5 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice, lemon-pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt, and remove from the heat. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley and lemon zest, and serve.
