Do you need a spiralizer?

Don't sweat it! Easy Keto recipes are meant to be versatile and accessible to everyone. You can use a vegetable peeler to get ribbon-shaped zucchini, or you can thinly slice your zucchini into noodles using a knife. You can even finely dice the zucchini and eat this meal using a spoon.

Can you use another vegetable other than zucchini?

Zucchini is the best option for this recipe if you are strict with your carb count. Otherwise, you can use other low carb options such as spaghetti squash or spiralized eggplant.
