Notes

🔪 Chop all vegetables into similar sizes to ensure even marinating and balanced flavors.
🌀 If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a mandoline, julienne slicer, or buy pre-packaged zucchini noodles.
🧀 Consider adding fresh parmesan, vegan parmesan, olives, or a pinch of paprika for extra flavor.
