Author Laura Theodore

Ingredients

CARROT “NOODLES”

  • 4 to 6 medium or 3 to 4 large carrots, peeled

PEANUT SAUCE

  • 4 heaping tablespoons creamy peanut butter see note
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free tamari
  • 3 to 6 tablespoons water plus more as needed

Dash cayenne pepper

  • TOPPINGs
  • 1 scallion white and green parts thinly sliced, for garnish
  • 1 small lime cut in wedges (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the carrots into thin “noodles” using a vegetable peeler spiralizer (or regular spiralizer). Fit a steamer basket into a medium-sized sauce pan with a tight-fitting lid. Add 2 to 3 inches of water, and then add the carrots. Cover and bring to a boil. Steam the carrots for 2 to 3 minutes or until they are al dente.
  2. Meanwhile, to make the sauce, put the peanut butter, maple syrup, tamari, 3 tablespoons of water and a dash of cayenne pepper into a small bowl and briskly whisk until combined. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to achieve desired consistency. Transfer the warm carrots to a medium-sized bowl and pour the sauce over the carrot “noodles.” Gently toss using tongs or a large fork until the carrots are thoroughly coated with the peanut sauce. Serve warm or cover and refrigerate for
  3. 2 hours and serve cold. To serve, divide the carrot “noodles” into two to four pretty bowls. Top each bowl of carrot “noodles” with some scallions, with optional lime wedge on the side.
  4. Chef’s note: If you prefer, you may use cashew, almond or sunflower seed butter in place of peanut butter.

    These peanut noodles sound delish! I’ll be trying them with almond butter as my hubby has trouble with peanuts. I always enjoy The Jazzy Vegetarian’s recipes.

    My family loves mock tuna salad so I always have to make a triple batch of it! This recipe looks looks delicious – I really love spicy peanut sauce! Would like to try to make this with different kinds of veggies noodles. I like that it doesn’t require many ingredients, especially with produce being scarce in stores these days!

      It is very important today to make meals using what we have on hand, so fewer ingredients recipes are super great.
