A fresh, vibrant take on the classic Pad Thai, this low-carb version swaps noodles for spiralized zucchini while keeping all the bold, craveable flavor. Packed with protein, colorful veggies, and a quick homemade sauce, it’s a perfect light dinner or meal prep staple.


Ingredients

2 medium zucchini, spiralized

2 tablespoons tamari or coconut aminos

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon honey or keto-friendly sweetener

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame oil
