I’m not even joking when I tell you that my spiral slicer changed my low carb life. Being able to transform low carb vegetables into low carb noodles was a game changer. These paleo vegetable “noodles” are so versatile. You can bake them in bacon fat for a nice crispy hash brown like texture, or you can sauté them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper for a pasta like experience. They are so fresh and light! As you can see from the pictures, I have enjoyed them several ways. Perhaps my two favorite are with sausage and eggs for breakfast, and also as pasta with chicken or fish and my Sun-dried Tomato Coconut Cream Sauce recipe. This is the perfect low carb, paleo and whole30 recipe. The possibilities are endless! Check out some of my other favorite keto Whole30 recipes.

I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Can I tell you how much I LOVE that spiral slicer???
Wondering what is on the top of the noodles in the final pictures?
It is a chicken breast and a sauce recipe that I will have posted soon. 🙂
I made these with zucchini and carrtos as a side dish to the Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Peppers. So delicious! I just used olive oil, salt, pepper and a little dash of italian seasoning. I think I need bigger baking sheets!
Oh wow! I love this! What a fun way to eat a rainbow of vegetables! Inspired to make this with the kids this week. Thank you!
PEACE, LOVE, AND LOW CARB FUN YESSS!! Thank you very much. 🙂
I have this spiral slicer, and though I like it, it seems to leave a lot of waste in the vegetable part that goes through the little hole at the end. My carrot ends up looking like a pointed stick. Any suggestions? Thanks for the great recipe! Looks awesome!
Put them in a baggie and eat raw for snacks
I am so excited about this recipe but I do not see the sauce part that is on top of noodles and under grilled chicken breast.. Can you send it to my email address at threebunnyjewels@yahoo.com. I am so excited for your book.
The sauce can be found here – https://peaceloveandlowcarb.com/2013/09/sun-dried-tomato-coconut-cream-sauce.html
I cannot wait to try this, the colors are awesome! Mmmmm…bacon.
This recipe looks wonderful but could you please identify the spiral slicer you used for the vegetables. I’ve looked into a couple of different brands on Amazon but none seem to get the “noodle” as thin as your pictures.
Thank you!
Sorry, I just noticed the reference above. Psyched to try this recipe
This looks amazing! What is shown in the picture on top of the “noodles”? Is there a recipe for that sauce? Thanks!
It is a sun-dried tomato cream sauce. You can find the recipe here – https://peaceloveandlowcarb.com/2013/09/sun-dried-tomato-coconut-cream-sauce.html
My vegetable noodles tasted great but they needed to cook for an hour because at 20 mins they were in a watery mess. How do you prevent the watery mess?
Thank.
How did you cook them? I had mine spread out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and cooked them in bacon fat. They got nice and crispy. To remove excess water you can sprinkle the vegetable noodles with a little salt and wrap them in paper towels. It will draw out the excess moisture.
Couldnt find a spiral Slicer so im just going to Julienne cut the vegtables so it will be like of like fettuccine noodles. Hoping for the best this looks amazing.
I just got a spiralizer and tried it with just zucchini, but this looks delicious. We try to watch our carbs and sugars as well. By the way, I have toured through you blog a little and will be bookmarking for a return.
Following you on Pinterest as well. I would love to have you stop by and share your blog on my Friday Features Party.
Have a great weekend, Karren
