Prep Tips
The best and easiest way to make zoodles is with the Veggeti Spiral Vegetable Slicer. See shopping tips below. If you don’t want to buy one, you can use a julienne peeler, vegetable peeler or mandolin. Using a vegetable peeler will make your noodles much wider but will still taste good. Shopping Tips
Although there are many zoodle makers on the market, the easiest one to use and most inexpensive one is called Veggetti Spiral Vegetable Slicer, Makes Veggie Pasta. It costs about $10. Click on the link to buy it on Amazon.com This is my new favorite zoodle maker. Also very easy to use.

ginger….see shopping tips….but there is no information
Sorry Marylou. I just added the shopping tip regarding the ginger.
Enjoy!
My best,
Nancy
Thanks. DIdn’t know if I should use the ginger slices I get for sushi. Might be good anyway.
Marylou, I’m such a fan of ginger in a jar and always have a jar in my fridge. But, you could dice into small pieces your leftover ginger slices.
All the best,
Nancy
