And finally, at the very end I’ve included some of my best tips along with my favorite zucchini noodle recipes. How to Make Zucchini Noodles 1. Making zucchini noodles with a spiralizer. The Paderno World Cuisine Spiralizer is far and away my favorite tool.

It creates curls of your favorite vegetables, literally in seconds. You simply cut off the ends of a zucchini, place it next to the blade and spin. Now, I know these reviews are for zucchini noodles, but keep in mind other vegetables you may want to slice up. With this spiralizer, you can create your favorite carrot pasta, curly sweet potato fries or apple chips with easy to swap out blades. CONS: will require more storage space than other options. Making zucchini noodles with a julienne peeler. The great thing about a julienne peeler is that you likely already have one in your kitchen.

A julienne peeler frequently does double duty with a vegetable peeler. One side juliennes, the other side slices. And that’s perfect for when you want thick, flat slices of zucchini pasta. The single biggest benefit of a julienne peeler is that it’s small. When it comes to the actual zucchini noodles, a julienne peeler slices the thinnest, most delicate noodles.

Then, you simply pull the strands apart with your fingers. PROS: cheap and easy to store. CONS: takes longer to slice and leaves a pretty large core. Making zucchini noodles with a mandoline. I’ve had this mandoline for several years and it gets used a ton in my kitchen. The mandoline creates julienne noodles that are slightly thicker than a peeler, but does it in half the time. The blades are SUPER sharp on a mandoline, so please please always use the plastic holder or a cut-resistant glove.
