Keto Baked Feta Zoodles Recipes

BAKED FETA ZOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
• Place the tomatoes in a large oven-safe baking dish. Drizzle 1/3 cup olive oil over tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Toss until well combined.
• Place the feta block in the center, moving the tomatoes out of the center, surrounding the feta block. Drizzle the top of the feta with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 35 minutes, or until the cherry tomatoes burst, and the feta cheese is soft.
• When the tomatoes and feta have about 10 mins left of bake time, quickly sauté 6 cups of zucchini noodles, for 2-3 mins (you want them to be crisp and not too soft) in a non stick pan with a little cooking spray. Then set to aside in a strainer. (This will help remove excess liquids from the zucchini).
• When the 35 mins are up, carefully remove the feta and tomatoes from the oven and use a spoon or spatula to combine the melted feta and tomatoes. (Be sure to crush any tomatoes that don't break apart when stirring)
• Next, add in pesto and stir until well combined.
• Lastly, toss in the zoodles and stir one more time. Finish with fresh basil, grated parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.

BAKED FETA ZOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f.
• In a 13x9-inch baking dish, stir together the cherry tomatoes, 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, garlic, oregano, sea salt, and pepper.
• Make some space in the center and add in your feta cheese. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 Tablespoon of olive oil on top of the feta.
• Bake, until the cheese is soft and golden on top and tomatoes are roasted and bursting, about 30 minutes.
• While the feta is baking, thoroughly wash your zucchini squash and trim off the ends.
• Using a spiralizer, create zucchini noodles; aka zoodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can simply run a vegetable peeler down the length of the zucchini to create thin ribbons.
• Remove the baking dish from the oven and add in your chopped fresh basil.
• Using a fork, mash the feta and stir it together with the tomatoes to form a sauce as shown in the video.
• Add your zoodles immediately to the still very hot baking dish, and toss well to combine with the sauce. Your hot tomato/feta sauce should warm your zucchini noodles nicely.
• Garnish the pasta with extra fresh basil and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!
