Carrot "Noodles"


Don't remember where i first saw how to do this, might of been something on pinterest, but it's been some time since the first time i tried this, that not sure if i'd find the original post i read about this in. A good bit of the time i don't follow measurements on oil when making things like this.

To make this is really simple, julienne some carrots, cook them in a pan with some oil until they are soft like noodles. Then you can add pasta sauce if you want. I like to just add some of the dried minced garlic that i have while it's cooking and just pretty much have a garlic olive oil sauce.

Here's some of my pictures of my making this

I used my julienne peeler for this. If you don't have one then you can use a normal peeler to make slices then just slice those to get it noodle like. You can sorta do the same thing with the match stick carrots, just you won't be able to twirl them like my first picture.

Before cooking

After cooking.

I didn't time how long i cooked it, i just cooked them on medium until they got noodle like.

Even if you don't eat this like pasta, it can make for a decent side dish when you want a carrots but not just raw or steamed. I do find making large amounts annoying as getting the slices isn't super easy. Maybe if you have a really large carrot then maybe it would be fine.

By large carrot, i mean this...
That's my daughter with a large carrot my mom bought.
