Continue until the entire zucchini is finished. Pick up the zucchini in your hand and run the peeler across the zucchini lengthwise from top to bottom and watch the lasagna type noodles appear.The zoodles usually turn out to be much shorter than with the spiralizer. Certain peelers can make noodles that resemble pappardelle pasta or short lasagna type noodles.Ĭons – It can be tedious and time-consuming.

Pros – You don’t have to spend money on a tool that you don’t have, you can just use what you have in your kitchen. A regular vegetable peeler will create wide zucchini noodles similar to lasagna or pappardelle. If you have a peeler then you can use that to make zucchini noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer then you can also use a peeler or a knife but they will both take more time to make zucchini noodles than a spiralizer will.

Start to crank the handle continuously and watch the zoodles come out the end.

Insert the zucchini onto the spiralizer, skewer one end to the side with the blade and the other end to the side with the handle.

Adjust the spiralizer tray to fit the length of the zucchini.

Take the spiralizer and secure it down on the counter with the clamp on the bottom.

Other than that, this is a wonderful way to make zoodles and the preferred method. The best part is it also has many different blades that you can change out to make other shapes of noodles.Ĭons – The only downside to using a countertop spiralizer is that it is the most expensive tool out of all methods. So much so that you can twirl them on your fork and makes you feel like you are really eating spaghetti. It makes the zoodles uniform in thickness and they come out with some very long, spaghetti-like pieces. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and is small so it doesn’t take up much space in your cabinet. It clamps down to the counter so it won’t move around while you are working on it. Pros – A Countertop spiralizer is the best type to use in this zucchini noodles recipe. One more tip in picking out some fresh ones to make zucchini noodles with is to buy zucchini with the stems still attached because they will last longer if you don’t get a chance to use them right away.

The bigger the zucchini gets, the skin gets thicker and tougher which is not good for making zoodles. Large zucchinis are also not as flavorful, whereas smaller ones have a much better flavor to them. Large zucchinis are usually too watery so use the medium to small-sized zucchinis that are firm in texture. If your zucchini is overripe then the noodles will be soft and mushy, so a firm zucchini is best. Also, make sure that they are medium to dark green, not pale in color with smooth skin. The first thing to do is to make sure that when you pick out zucchini you get the ones that look good, the ones that do not have any soft spots, or scrapes…etc. You can buy them in the store or grow them in the garden.
