Zucchini Noodles or Zoodles, as they are affectionately called, are not just trendy, delicious and nutritious but they are grain-free, gluten-free and low-carb too! What more could you ask for?

First Published: February 21, 2017… Last Updated: August 15, 2019

Well, how about a silky peanut sauce to toss them in with broccoli and cherry tomatoes? And a bit of scallions and peanuts for crunch? Zucchini noodles with broccoli just got a whole lot more delicious. Ok, now we’re talking! 

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

And it’s so easy to make your own zoodles with a spiralizer! My favorite is the hand held spiralizer but you can go all out and get an elite spiralizer  with 5 blades and suction cups that keep it firmly secured to your countertop.  A basic julienne peeler will also get the job done.  

Zucchini Noodles & Broccoli With Peanut Sauce combine zoodles with broccoli, cherry tomatoes, scallions and peanuts tossed in a silky peanut sauce for a fabulous vegetarian main dish.

So if you’re looking for quick vegetarian dinner recipes you’ve come to the right place! Our zucchini broccoli recipe is perfect for your Meatless Monday dinner or to round out a meal as a fabulous side dish.

    Made a variation of this using 2 bags of broccoli slaw, a red onion, scallions, 4 Roma tomatoes, and a pound of ground turkey (browned with olive oil and soy sauce, we have a bigger family of meat eaters) as the base ingredients… Fast and delicious!!
