Easy Spiralized Raw Zucchini Peanut Noodles, Vegan + Gluten-Free
Hey friends, happy Monday!! Now that it’s officially Spring (even though it’s still a little chilly in NYC) I’m starting to crave lighter foods like salads and raw dishes.
Today I’m excited to share a lighter, healthier version of your favorite take-out noodles. These Easy Spiralized Zucchini Peanut Noodles are like a vegan, gluten-free and raw version of pad thai. I love the contrast of textures between the zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, bean sprouts and nuts. It’s such a satisfying dish!
If you don’t have a sprializer the recipe will still taste great if you dice the veggies and enjoy it like a salad. The peanut sauce is super simple but so tasty and I could seriously eat it on anything.

- juice of 1 lime
- 2 tbs creamy peanut butter (can substitute almond or cashew butter)
- 1 tbs sesame oil
- 1 tbs gluten-free tamari (or soy sauce if not gluten-free)
- 1 tbs maple syrup
- 3 medium zucchini
- 4 medium carrots
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 green onions, diced
- handful of chopped peanuts, cashews or almonds
- Prepare peanut sauce by stirring together lime, peanut butter, sesame oil, tamari and maple syrup.
- Use a vegetable spiralizer to create "noodles" out of zucchini and carrots. Place in a large bowl with bean sprouts.
- Add sauce to large bowl and stir thoroughly. Transfer to plates and garnish with green onion and chopped nuts.
Do you know how well this will keep in the fridge for left-overs? I have HUGE zucchini I was going to use for it but I’m wondering how well it will keep with the sauce etc.
I find that it gets a bit soggy the next day so I always like to eat it fresh! 🙂
not a fan, the sauce tasted authentic but i think the combination of raw zucchini with it just didn’t appeal to me personally. My zucchini had a lot of water, making the whole thing a giant pile of mush.
Sorry to hear it wasn’t the best for you! Zucchini noodles aren’t necessarily everyones taste :/
