Carrot Noodles
Carrot noodles, also known as "carrot zoodles" or "carrot spaghetti," are a nutritious and flavorful alternative to traditional wheat-based noodles. They are a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your meals and can be enjoyed by those following gluten-free or paleo diets.
Ingredients
- 2-3 carrots
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 tbsp scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Peel the carrots to remove the outer skin, if desired. Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, create long, thin strands of carrot noodles. Place the carrot noodles in a bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and scallions.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the carrot noodles and toss well to coat the noodles evenly. Let the carrot noodles marinate in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Transfer the carrot noodles to a serving dish. Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
