Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the zucchinis.
- Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchinis into noodles (zoodles). Set them aside.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet.
- Sauté the veggies for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become soft and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- Add the garlic powder, a dash of black pepper, and a dash of salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the onion and red bell pepper mixture.
- Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet.
- Gently toss the zoodles with the sautéed veggies, ensuring they are well-coated with the seasoning.
- Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zoodles are tender but still have a slight bite (al dente).
- Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the zoodles and veggie mixture.
- Toss everything together until the zoodles and veggies are evenly coated with the nutritional yeast. This will add a delicious cheesy flavor and a boost of nutrients.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Transfer the vegan zoodles with yeast and veggies to serving plates or bowls.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Tips:
- Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler will give you the best results for making zoodles from zucchini.
- If you don’t have vegetable broth, you can use water instead, though the broth adds extra flavor.
- Adjust the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste according to your preference.
- Add some cherry tomatoes or mushrooms for extra variety and flavor.
- Sprinkle some fresh herbs such as basil or parsley on top for a burst of freshness.
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, lightly toast the zoodles in a nonstick pan for a couple of minutes.
And there you have it - a colorful and healthy plate of vegan zoodles with yeast and veggies! This dish is not only easy and quick to make but also packed with nutrients and flavor.
