zucchini noodles

Vegetable pasta substitute

Zucchini noodles are thin strips of zucchini cut to resemble pasta, typically made with a spiralizer or julienne peeler.

They serve as a low-carb, gluten-free substitute for spaghetti and similar noodles: I made zucchini noodles with marinara for dinner.

Often shortened to "zoodles" in casual usage.
