Zoodles Recipes So Delicious, They’ll Have You in a Spiral
Zoodles recipes are getting a lot of hype in foodie circles these days. And when you learn more about zoodles and the endless possibilities that come with this healthy, tasty trend, it’s not hard to see why.
First of all, if you’re not familiar with the term zoodles, have no fear. It’s super easy to understand. A play on the culinary staple “noodles,” zoodles have a similar shape and style to noodles. Except they’re made from zucchini—hence the Z in front of the name!
But why should you make pasta out of zucchini of all things? A better question would be, why not zucchini? Low-cal, low-carb, and packed with nutrients like potassium and vitamin C, the summer squash is a lighter, more nutritious alternative to regular pasta. And we have to admit, as much as we love good old-fashioned spaghetti, it sometimes leaves us with a tummy ache after eating it.
So if you’re wondering where you can find these low-carb beauties known as zoodles, you’ll be happy to know you can create them for yourself in your own kitchen. All you need is a zucchini and a vegetable spiralizer, like Veggetti.
