What are Zoodles?
Zoodles are vegetables that have been turned into noodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. They are mostly low carb and gluten free, therefore a friendly addition to a ketogenic, paleo or celiac lifestyle.
There are many ways to prepare zoodles and the cooking times will vary depending on the vegetable. For instance, yellow squash and zucchini should be sautéed for just a few minutes. Otherwise, they will get soggy.
Zoodles made from root vegetables like beets and carrots will stand up to heat better and may be cooked longer. Below you'll find recipes that will show you the best flavor combinations and cooking times for all your zoodles.
