Zucchini noodles or zoodles is a healthy alternative to pasta. It’s low carb and keto, making zucchini one of the most popular ingredients in recent years.

It’s also fresh, refreshing, delicious and very easy to prepare. All you need is a spiralizer, a simple dressing and you can have a zucchini noodles meal.

Today, I am going to teach you how to make Thai Peanut Zucchini Noodles, with a mouthwatering Thai peanut sauce dressing.

In addition to zucchini, I also used carrots to give the noodles an extra bite and texture; it adds gorgeous color to the finished dish.

I also added a bit of spaghetti to make it a more filling dish, especially for dinner, but you can opt out on the spaghetti if you want a low calorie, low carb and keto-friendly dish.

Top the noodles with crushed peanuts and you’ll have an absolutely amazing meal.
