I first had this dish at a local Italian restaurant (Jackson Fillmore) in my neighborhood…I was blown away at how delicious it was because of its simplicity! I come to find out that my sister had recently made a dish like this of her own, so I figured I had to try it out. It turned out incredible, the salt of the parm is perfect with the fresh zucchini and the crunch of the toasty almonds. A perfect side dish any time of the year!
Thanks Kate! (p.s. how cute is ava?!)
Ingredients
- Zucchini
- Handful of Sliced Almonds
- Olive Oil
- Parmesan Cheese
- Salt & Pepper
1. Slice the zucchini into thin matchsticks. (If you dont own one already, invest in a
mandolin!)
2. Coat a sauce pan with olive oil over medium heat.
3. Add a handful of sliced almonds and toast. Ready after about 1-2 mins or golden brown.
4. Remove the almonds from the heat and toss in the zucchini, quickly stir to combine. This is the most important step, work quickly as you just want to slightly heat the zucchini through, you dont want to cook it.
5. Add Salt & Pepper to taste and top with shaved parmesan.
