How To Make Zucchini Noodles without a Spiralizer
Not everyone has a spiralizer. And, who wants to sink money into a new kitchen gadget before even knowing if you'll like what it makes? So, here's how to make different types of zucchini noodles without a spiralizer.
Instructions
- For spaghetti-like noodles similar to the results with a spiralizer, try using a julienne peeler. Slide the peeler down the length of the squash to create the noodles.
- For flat noodles similar to lasagna, try using a mandoline slicer. You can also use a regular vegetable peeler, but the results likely won't be as uniform.
- For noodles similar to fettuccine, you can do that too. Just stack the flat noodles as you slice them. Then, use a chef's knife to slice them into narrow strips.
- While you can certainly create all of these noodles simply using a chef's knife, if you have a julienne peeler, vegetable peeler, or a mandoline in the kitchen already, it will make quicker work of it.
