Garlic Zoodles with Mediterranean Fish

Zoodle Maker

Zoodles are just about the best thing to happen since sliced bread.  They taste like a noodle, when cooked but cut the carbs and calories, plus it’s a vegetable!  If you hate veggies, then this is a good way to sneak them in without even realizing it.  Dinner this week consisted of garlic zoodles with roasted broccoli, red pepper, and Mediterranean white fish.  I used flounder this time.

First off, if you think zoodles are hard to make or you need fancy equipment, think again.  I got a zoodle maker from target for about $15.  It’s a handheld one but it gets the job done pretty quickly!  UPDATE: I got an electronic spiralizer (link below), and it’s amazing! It’s just easier and there are different styles of noodles you can choose from.
