Instructions
- 1
Make the pesto: blend avocados, basil, avocado oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sea salt in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt and lemon to taste.
- 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of avocado oil.
- 3
Add zucchini noodles and toss for 2–3 minutes just until slightly softened but still with a bite. Don't overcook.
- 4
Remove from heat and immediately toss with the avocado pesto and coconut aminos.
- 5
Plate and top with cherry tomatoes if using.
- 6
Serve right away.
Chef's Note
Eat immediately — zucchini releases water quickly and the pesto will thin out if it sits too long.
