Crisp Zucchini Noodles with Rich Vegan Pesto
Enjoy a vibrant, nutrient-packed bowl of spiralized zucchini noodles tossed in a silky, herbaceous pesto. Tender, pan-crisped tempeh pieces add a satisfying bite and boost the protein, while the creamy, tangy pesto made with fresh basil, walnuts, nutritional yeast, garlic, and a hint of lemon elevates the dish to a gourmet level.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Zucchini
125g Tempeh
1/8 cup Walnuts
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
1 clove Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside.
Cut the tempeh into small bite-sized strips or cubes.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the tempeh; cook until edges are crisp and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper during cooking.
In a food processor, combine basil leaves, walnuts, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, and the olive oil. Blend until a smooth, slightly chunky pesto forms. If needed, add a splash of water to achieve desired consistency.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the vegan pesto until evenly coated.
Gently fold in the pan-fried tempeh, ensuring the noodles remain crisp but infused with the rich flavors.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary, and serve immediately.
