SQUASH NOODLES – Vegan

Posted on by

This is a quick recipe for squash noodles. I combine both green and yellow squash, but it is up to you. 

This takes total 10 minutes including prep work to make:

Ingredients for 1 serving:

  1. Squash (1 squash per person) – spiralized
  2. 1 tablespoon of peanut butter 
  3. 1/4 cup water
  4. 1 teaspoon sesame oil or oil of your choice
  5. Dash of dulse seaweed flakes (optional)
  6. 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  7. Salt to taste
  8. 1 table spoon nutritional yeast

Method:

  • Spiralize the squash of your choice. 
  • Heat oil in a pan and cook squash for 3 minutes
  • Add water, peanut butter and nutritional yeast in a bowl and mix well. Add this mixture to the noodles. Let it cook for 3 minutes until the noodles start to stick together in the sauce
  • Add salt, dulse, and sesame seeds. Cook for another 1 minutes
  • Remove from heat and serve. ENJOY!

 

Variation: You can use another nut butter if you are allergic to peanut butter, but taste will be slightly different. Texture will hold though. 

Why this is my choice of noodles: I love this recipe because it is full of B vitamins from nutritional yeast and this one serving contains only 220 calories with:

  • 11 grams of protein,
  • 5 grams of fiber,
  • only 6 grams of net carbs,
  • over 100% RDA of Vitamin B12, Folate, B1, B2, B3,
  • over 800 mg of potassium, which is close to 20% RDA, and
  • 33% RDA of manganese.
