Ingredients

2 zucchinis, peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.25 cup water
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Using a vegetable peeler, create long, wide strips from one side of a zucchini until you reach the seedy core. Rotate the zucchini and repeat on the remaining three sides. Repeat with the remaining zucchini. Discard the seedy cores.
Stack the zucchini strips on top of each other. Then, slice them lengthwise into thin strips, resembling spaghetti noodles.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini "noodles" and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the water and continue cooking until the zucchini is tender and the water has evaporated, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
