Carrot noodles are one of my favorite side dishes, especially in the spring! I love vegetable noodles – this recipe for chicken meatballs and zoodles is one of my favorites.

A spiralizer is a handy kitchen tool to have if you eat a lot of vegetable noodles. But if you don’t have a spiralizer, you can still enjoy veggie noodles! In fact, I prefer to make carrot noodles with a peeler It’s easy to make these with a vegetable peeler, and the noodles are much thinner and more tender when made this way.

If you are avoiding gluten, vegetable noodles can be a great alternative. They are also a great way to get more veggies into your family’s diet.

What kind of peeler works best for making these carrot noodles?

I use a palm vegetable peeler, but any type should work well. If you have a spiralizer, you can use that to make these, but they may take a little longer to cook.

Can you freeze vegetable noodles?

Yes, you can freeze vegetable noodles – just store in a ziploc freezer bag and remove all the air before placing in the freezer.

      I have a palm peeler that I think I got at Target maybe? It has ridges.
