Chef notes

If you don't have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler to peel the zucchini into long ribbons. You can add 100-150 grams of your favorite animal protein to this recipe or choose one of the following options: 1/2 cup lentils, chickpeas or beans (or a mix) or 1-2 eggs.

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4-5 zucchinis, spiralized
  • 1 head of broccoli, cut into florets

  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 tsp chili flakes

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
