Ingredients

¼ cup vegetable oil

1 serrano chile, thinly sliced

4 large scallions, thinly sliced, divided

Kosher salt

¼ cup raw, unsalted sunflower seeds

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed

1 teaspoon cumin seeds, crushed

¼ cup fresh lime juice

1½ teaspoons honey

2 large zucchini (about 1¼ pounds), spiralized using a medium blade

½ English cucumber, spiralized using a medium blade

1 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems

Method

Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium. Cook chile and half of the scallions, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 4–5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer chiles and scallions to paper towels; season with salt.

Add sunflower, sesame, coriander, and cumin seeds to saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, until seeds are lightly golden and spices are fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in lime juice and honey; season with salt. Add zucchini, cucumber, cilantro, and remaining scallions. Toss to coat, season with salt, and top with fried chiles and scallions. Serve immediately.
