Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of avocado oil.

  3. 3

    Add zucchini noodles and toss for 2–3 minutes just until slightly softened but still with a bite. Don't overcook.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and immediately toss with the avocado pesto and coconut aminos.

  5. 5

    Plate and top with cherry tomatoes if using.

  6. 6

    Serve right away.

Chef's Note

Eat immediately — zucchini releases water quickly and the pesto will thin out if it sits too long.
