zoodles
Veggie noodle alternative
Zoodles are zucchini cut into long, thin strips resembling noodles, typically made with a spiralizer.
They serve as a low-carb substitute for pasta: I topped the zoodles with marinara sauce.
The word blends zucchini and noodles.
Similar vegetable noodles exist—sweet potato noodles, carrot noodles—but zoodles remain the most common.
