Cold Sesame Peanut Zoodles - The Lemon Bowl

It takes awhile for our weather to warm up here in Michigan but once it does it is alway well wroth the wait. Even though I’m envious of folks eating asparagus and strawberries in April, I love that we are still knee deep in tomatoes, corn and zucchini well into September.

If you’re into healthy eating, you’re probably no stranger to zucchini noodles. In fact, I’ve been talking about them ever since I first introduced you to my friend Ali when she shared her Turkey Bolognese Zucchini Pasta with us last year. Versatile, affordable and naturally nutritious, vegetable noodles are a healthy cook’s secret weapon.

The Inspiralizer - The Lemon Bowl

Well, my girl Ali is at it again and I’m thrilled to announce that she has designed and branded her very own spiralizer, The Inspiralizer. Sold exclusively on Inspiralized.com, Ali has created the ultimate vegetable spiralizer that is light weight, easy to use and simple to clean.

Cold Sesame Peanut Zucchini Noodles - The Lemon Bowl

To celebrate, I created a healthy twist on the take-out classic: Cold Sesame Peanut Noodles… or zoodles in this case. Creamy peanut butter, toasted sesame oil and a splash of soy sauce and rice vinegar coat each silky strand of zucchini.

 

Topped with a sprinkle of scallions, crushed peanuts and black roasted sesame seeds, make-your-own takeout never tasted so good.

Your fork is waiting.

  2. I bought the Inspiralizer (after using the Paderno spiralizer), and I just love it. It’s definitely the best. And I’m going to have to try this recipe with it. This sounds like just my kind of flavors.

  7. At first glance at the heading wondered where the ‘z’ came from!! Oh, I have been having fun with zucchini and the spiralizer also, but have not had the imagination to bring peanut butter to the party with the usual Asian ‘suspects’!! . . . Now hugely curious as to the dish’s ‘satay’ey flavours!!

  10. This looks so good. I love zoodles! I only have a little hand spiralizer currently, but I am thinking I need a real spiralizer ASAP. I’ve heard great things about the Inspiralizer, so I am thinking I’ll go that route! :) Thanks for the recipe!!
