Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup diced yellow onion
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ¼ tsp ground coriander
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • Cilantro for garnish

  1. Shred the zucchini using a food processor. Work in batches and squeeze the shredded zucchini over the sink to eliminate excess water. Set the zucchini aside.

  3. Add the coriander, cumin, salt and smoked paprika. Stir well. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve warm.
