Description
Zucchini and carrot noodles with green apple and chicken sausage come together beautifully in an easy 15 minutes! Lemon, herbs, kale and butter finish it off for a fresh and satisfying one skillet meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 green apple, chopped
- 4 precooked chicken sausages, sliced (look for Whole 30 compliant)
- 2 cups zuchhini “noodles” (see note)
- 2 cups carrot “noodles” (see note)
- 2 tablespoons ghee or butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onions, chopped
- Sea Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste (optional, omit for AIP)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. When oil is shimmering add apple and sausage with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes.
- With a spoon, stir the meat and apple to the sides of the skillet and add the ghee or butter to the middle, along with a squeeze of lemon juice and the fresh herbs. Stir for one minute.
- Add the “noddles” with a pinch of salt to the middle of the pan and stir to mix in the lemon, herb, butter. Cook, stirring often for 4 minutes.
- Add the kale or spinach, taste for more salt.
- Serve hot with more lemon if desired.
Notes
To save time, buy the veggies already in “noodles”. Look for them in the produce section of your grocery store. If you cant find any, feel free to use a peeler and peel the veggies into long, thin strips. (About 4 large carrots and 2 medium zucchini).
Also, it’s totally okay to sub the veggies! I have used butternut squash noodles or all zucchini and it turns out great!
If you need low carb, just use all zucchini or a mix of zucchini and butternut squash noodles.
Any pre-cooked chicken sausage that makes you happy and fits your diet needs will work!
