About this recipe

Craving noodles without the carbs? This healthy dish is full of flavor but not calories.

Melissa Thorne shows how to turn beets into noodles using a spiralizer. Cut off the tops and bottoms of the beets, peel them and then use a spiralizer to create “noodles.” Thorne recommends using gloves when handling beets, as the brightly colored juice will stain.

If you’d like to bulk up the dish, spiralize peeled sweet potatoes and saute them with the beet zoodles. For extra greens, chop up the leafy tops of the beets and saute them with the beet zoodles as well. For additional protein, sear off chicken breast in a pan before finishing it in the oven.

The result is a low-carb, nutrient-dense meal that’s both tasty and beautiful.

Beet Zoodles with Honey Thyme Glaze

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 medium beets, peeled and spiralized
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp honey
½ tsp fresh thyme or rosemary
2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans
2 oz goat cheese or feta, crumbled

Directions

Beet Zoodles with Honey Thyme Glaze

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beet zoodles with salt and pepper and cook for 5–7 minutes, tossing frequently until tender but slightly crisp.

Reduce heat to medium-low, drizzle honey and sprinkle thyme or rosemary over the zoodles, then toss for 2–3 minutes until coated and glossy.

Serve topped with remaining cheese.
TIP: Add arugula or pair with grilled chicken for additional protein.
