- Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 red Fresno chile, finely sliced
1 lemon, zested
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large zucchini, ends trimmed
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
3 large fresh basil leaves, cut into chiffonade
Flaky sea salt, for garnish, optional
Directions

- Using a peeler, peel the zucchini lengthwise into ribbons.
