  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare Beet Noodles: Peel the skin off a large beet, then use a spiralizer to make noodles.
  3. Prepare Cucumber Noodles: Using a large English cucumber, create noodles with a spiralizer or julienne peeler. Peeling is not necessary.
  4. Prepare Carrot Noodles: Scrub the carrot well or peel if it is heavily soiled. Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to make noodles.
  5. Prepare Daikon Radish Noodles: Use a spiralizer to make noodles from the daikon radish without peeling.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Prepare Sweet Potato Noodles: Peel a thick sweet potato and use a spiralizer to create noodles.
  9. 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.

Notes

  • Save the trimmings, such as butternut squash base and kohlrabi greens, for use in soups, stews, or other recipes to reduce waste.
  • You can use a spiralizer, julienne peeler, or a regular vegetable peeler depending on your tool availability and desired noodle shape.
  • There is no need to peel some vegetables like cucumber, zucchini, and summer squash unless preferred.
  • These veggie noodles can serve as gluten-free alternatives to pasta.
  • Enjoy the noodles raw or lightly cook them briefly depending on your recipe needs.
