We love zucchini noodles in the AHP test kitchens! They’re not only super fun to eat, but they’re a creative way to add in more veggies into your life. And while they don’t replace noodles they’re equally delicious in their own right. Since summertime is peak season for zucchini, I figured it would be fun to put together a few of my AHP fav’s using these cute little veggie noodles.
OH and these are just a few of our go-to’s if you want to see the whole list just type “zucchini noodles” or “zucchini ribbons” into the AHP search bar and see what comes up!
Herbed Chicken with Garlic-Infused Zucchini Noodles AHP 450

Thai Pork Curry with Zucchini Ribbons AHP 193
Curry powder is one of the oldest and most widely-used spice blends in the world, particularly when it comes to South Asian cuisine. In this recipe, we take pork loin chops and stew them in Thai coconut milk and curry powder until juicy and tender before adding in fresh ginger and bell pepper and serving over zucchini ribbons with fresh cilantro and lime. Colorful, exotic and delicious!
