Zucchini noodles are often hailed as a low-carb substitute for pasta, and they’re as tasty as they are healthy. There are many different methods for making them and it’s up to you to pick the right one, but these three are a good place to start.
Spiralizer
If you’re lucky enough to have a spiralizer in your kitchen, you should put it to some good use by making zucchini noodles. It will only take seconds to cut your zucchini into spirals, and you can cut them in many different ways because most spiralizers offer several blading options.
Julienne Peeler
If you don’t have a spiralizer at home, don’t despair, because a julienne peeler can also be used to prepare delicious veggie noodles. If you want thick and flat slices of zucchini pasta, this tiny kitchen tool is your best bet, but keep in mind it will take more time to prep your noodles than it would with a spiralizer.
Mandoline
A mandoline is also great for creating thick zucchini noodles, but you can vary the thickness with some models if they offer different blading options. If you don’t have a spiralizer and using a julienne peeler takes forever, a mandoline is just the thing you need, as long as you’re careful because it often has sharp blades.
