Instructions
- Carefully slice the zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch strip using a mandolin or sharp knife.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried parsley, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the zucchini strips and gently toss to coat.
- In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pine nuts tossing them frequently until the are fragrant and lightly browned about 3-4 minutes. Watch them very closely as they can burn quickly. Pour into a small bowl and set aside.
