Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini, spiralized
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp bouillon powder
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
Instructions
- Spiralize the zucchini: Slice off the top and bottom of the zucchini. Using a spiralizer, place the zucchini between the blades and turn the handle in any direction to create the noodles.
- Cook the ground beef: Heat a pan over high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully browned.
- Add the vegetables and spices: Add the red bell pepper, onion, coconut aminos, bouillon powder, thyme, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt to the beef. Stir and cook for 5 minutes to soften the vegetables.
- Add the zucchini noodles: Stir in the zucchini noodles and cook for 5-10 minutes, depending on your desired firmness. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Serve: Once the noodles have reached your desired texture, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Omit the cayenne pepper for a milder version if you don’t enjoy spicy food.
- For best results, use thawed ground meat rather than frozen.
- Adjust the thickness of the zucchini noodles by changing the blade on your spiralizer.
- Add fresh produce or herbs like tomatoes or broccoli to customize the dish.
- Feel free to use a favorite pasta sauce and Italian seasoning to make this a delicious Italian-style dish.
- Ground chicken, turkey, pork, or Italian sausage can be used instead of ground beef.
- Customize the seasoning as needed. Garlic powder or onion powder would be great additions.
- For a Mexican twist, use taco seasoning instead of the recommended spices.
