Ribbon Zucchini Noodles
I remember when we started our veggie garden in 2014. We had an abundance of zucchini. We tried getting creative with cooking and using up all the zucchini. We did ratatouille, zucchini pancakes (in place of potato), zucchini boats (sliced in half, topped with tomatoes, parmesan, olive oil, sea salt, basil & oregano), veggie kabobs on the grill, scrambled with eggs, etc. Then the next year, no zucchini. The soil changed and we have not been able to grow much zucchini since. But it really got me to getting creative with it.
Today’s recipe is inspired by a client looking to get new ways to prepare zucchini without overcooking it. We have all been there with slightly overdoing our veggies. From these ribbons hitting the pan to ready to eat – it only took 4 minutes! Check out the video.
“Zucchini” Benefits:
Excellent source of Vitamin A – as in 40% of the recommended daily intake
- Great for eye health
Rich in Antioxidants (helps protect cells from free radical damage) – Eat that SKIN!
Helps Aid Digestion
Also high in Magnesium and Vitamin C

Here are a few cooking tips to know:
- For making the ribbons of zucchini, I used a veggie peeler.
- You are welcome to use a spiralizer or buy your zucchini pre-spiralized from the store. Just watch for added preservatives. Also be aware they will not last long pre-cut so they will need to be used up quickly.
- Once the ribbons are transferred to your pan, lower the heat. They are thin and will cook super-fast.
These noodles or “zoodles” if you will, are a great alternative for higher carb items. You can top them with my fast baked chicken, crispy garlic shrimp, pulled pork, beef and “zoodles”, etc. They also make a lovely side dish!
