4 servings
- 4 medium zucchini (about 2 lb total)
- ¾ tsp fine sea salt, divided
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger

- 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer, or cut into thin ribbons with a julienne peeler. Place the noodles in a colander set over the sink, toss with 1/2 tsp of the salt, and let stand for 5 minutes until slightly softened and moisture begins to release. Pat dry with paper towels.

Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add the garlic slices and cook, stirring frequently, until pale golden at the edges and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes — watch closely, as the slices can brown quickly.
