Maybe you’ve been spiralizing for ages, but we were kind of late to join the party and now we’re mildly obsessed with spiralizing everything!
It’s so much fun and such a tasty way to eat healthier food. Just choose your vegetable (or fruit!) of choice, slip it on to the machine, turn the handle and make healthy, gluten-free, real food noodles out of pretty much all of your favorite ingredients.
The first time we made zoodles, I was amazed by the length and texture of the zoodles. They really resemble noodles and provide the same kind of experience as when you are eating classic noodles (such as a wheat based spaghetti).
Why we love this Thai zoodles recipe :
- You guys, you are creating actual noodles from zucchini!
- All the colors! Cherry tomatoes, spring onions, cashew nuts, parsley and green and yellow zucchini mixed together makes for a gorgeous and colorful plate.
- We went a little heavy on the hot pepper for ourselves since we love spicy food but adjust to your particular taste.
- This recipe is vegan and gluten-free.
We eat a wide variety of food and have nothing against gluten personally, but we know that some of you are following gluten-free diets due to allergies or personal preferences. If you are, you can enjoy this recipe without hesitation.
