I have said this earlier, that I am a big connoisseur of noodles. Which means I am constantly looking for new ways to make’em. But today I will go out on a limb and say ditch noodles. Before you start calling me crazy, let me rephrase…’ditch flour noodle’.

Let me introduce you to new ways of making healthy gluten free noodles – the zoodles aka zucchini noodles. You may be overwhelmed with lot of questions, but bear with me as I take you through the ultimate guide of zoodles.

Zoodles is a nickname for zucchini noodles made from spiralized, raw zucchini. While it’s possible to find pre-made zoodles in some grocery stores, most people prefer to make them fresh at home, especially considering they can take just a few quick minutes to prepare.

What Are Zoodles?

Zoodles are strands of zucchini that are made into the shape of noodles. The uniform shape of zoodles is possible because of the work of a spiralizer. You can use either a simple, inexpensive, handheld spiralizer to shape your zoodles or a more expensive and professional spiralizer. If you do not have this device no need to worry, you can always strip the zucchini into think strips using a knife.

You don’t have to peel the skin off of a zucchini to make noodles. As the flesh contains most of the water of the squash, you’ll want to eat the skin to retain the zucchini’s fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Let’s meet the ingredients
All we need is basic ingredients. Main ingredient Zucchini, any veggies  of your choice to go along with it and parmesan cheese to top it off with.
