Ingredients
Vegetables for Noodles
- 1 butternut squash (choose one with a long neck)
- 1 large beet
- 1 large English cucumber
- 1 fat carrot
- 1 daikon radish
- 1 large yellow summer squash
- 1 kohlrabi bulb
- 1 thick sweet potato
- 1 large zucchini
Instructions
- Prepare Butternut Squash Noodles: Chop off the fat, seedy base of the butternut squash and save it for another use. Peel the squash thoroughly, then use a spiralizer to create noodles from the flesh.
- Prepare Beet Noodles: Peel the skin off a large beet, then use a spiralizer to make noodles.
- Prepare Cucumber Noodles: Using a large English cucumber, create noodles with a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Peeling is not necessary.
- Prepare Carrot Noodles: Scrub the carrot well or peel if it is heavily soiled. Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to make noodles.
- Prepare Daikon Radish Noodles: Use a spiralizer to make noodles from the daikon radish without peeling.
- Prepare Summer Squash Noodles: Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler on a large yellow squash to make noodles. Alternatively, use a regular vegetable peeler to create thick ribbon-shaped noodles. Peeling the skin is optional.
- Prepare Kohlrabi Noodles: Remove and save the greens for another use. Peel any rough or nubby spots off the kohlrabi bulb, then spiralize it into noodles.
- Prepare Sweet Potato Noodles: Peel a thick sweet potato and use a spiralizer to create noodles.
- Prepare Zucchini Noodles: Using a large zucchini, make noodles with a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Alternatively, use a regular vegetable peeler to make thick ribbon-shaped noodles. Peeling the skin is not necessary.
