Recipe Notes

  • I recommend serving these zoodles with Brooklyn Bred Bistro Buns. Spread 1 tsp of butter on the buns, and pan fry until desired crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Top with parmesan cheese and serve alongside the zoodles. The best part?? One serving of these buns....is...100 calories!!
  • I happened to stumble upon the buns at Whole Foods. But other grocery chains such as Shoprite & Kings Food Markets stock this brand as well. Here's a link to their website
  • If you can't find, substitute with your favorite bread! Can't go wrong with this recipe. :)
