Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Using a spiralizer, transform the zucchini into delicate noodles. Place them in a colander set over a bowl or the sink. Lightly season with salt to draw out excess moisture. Let stand for 20-30 minutes. (Time: 20-30 minutes)

02

Step

Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. (Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Roast the Vegetables: Arrange the sliced onion on one side of the prepared baking sheet and the quartered radishes on the other. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. (Time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Infuse with Zest: In a small bowl, combine the kosher salt and lemon zest. Rub them together with your fingers until the mixture is fragrant, releasing the essential oils of the lemon. Sprinkle this aromatic mixture evenly over the onion and radishes. (Time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the onion and radishes are tender and lightly browned, approximately 25 minutes. (Time: 25 minutes)

06

Step

Sauté the Garlic: While the vegetables are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray. Add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant (do not brown), about 3-5 minutes. (Time: 3-5 minutes)

07

Step

Combine & Sauté: Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the skillet with the garlic. Add the roasted onion and radishes; cook and stir until they are nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the dill weed. (Time: 3 minutes)

08

Step

Finish the Dish: Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and cook until they are heated through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and immediately pour the fresh lemon juice over the zoodles. (Time: 3 minutes)
