Ingredients

2 large zucchinis spiralized
2 large carrots spiralized
1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro chopped
1/4 cup green onions sliced
1 Tbsp sesame seeds

For the Peanut Sauce:

1/3 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy, based on preference
2 tbsp tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp ginger grated
1-2 Tbsp warm water as needed to thin the sauce

Optional:

Red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha for heat

Instructions

Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis and carrots into noodles. Place them in a large bowl, along with the sliced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, tamari (or gluten-free soy sauce), lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add warm water one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha, if using, to taste.
Pour the peanut sauce over the spiralized vegetables in the bowl. Gently toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
Divide the noodles among plates and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Tip:

For extra protein, consider topping the noodles with grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create thin strips of zucchini and carrot.
