Zucchini noodles!!!!!! And the term “à la Grecque” (in the Greek-style) here refers to the black olives and feta that I’ve added to these zucchini noodles.
“Zucchini Noodles?” you may be asking. Yes, zucchini noodles! They are a wonderful veggie treat brought to you by my new contraption: a vegetable spiral slicer! You put your zucchini in like this:
And out come noodles like this:
I heated them a little bit in a pan with some olive oil, black olives, and onions, and then added small cubes of salty feta. Ooooh, a rich noodly treat — and a great way to get in a couple servings of veggies!
I can’t wait to try out more veggie-noodle options — I’m thinking of an Asian-inspired almond butter dressing cold zucchini noodle salad. Mmmm. But for now: Greek-style zucchini noodles!
Zucchini Noodles à la Grecque
Serves 2
- 2 zucchini
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 1/2 red onion, minced
- 12 black olives, sliced
- 25g (1 oz) light feta, cubed
Slice off the ends of the zucchini, and then turn them into noodles using either a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler.
In a large pan over low heat, sweat the onion until translucent. Add the zucchini and heat through, cooking for about 3-5 minutes. Add the olives and stir.
Garnish with the feta, and serve warm. Yum.

I love that thing, I have gadget envy, I want one!!
Oh, i love the look of that courgette cutter. I want! I love the idea of courgette noodles, so healthy, different and tasty. I bet they were good with that simple combo with feta and onion.
Loving the super spiralizing action!
Your gadget looks WAY more efficient than mine – I get RSI trying to twist out a bowl of veggie-spaghetti by hand. Need one of those heavy duty machines!
Another recipe to add to the bank – maybe i’ll try making salty cashew cheese to replicate the fetta? Mmm…
Oooooh! I want one! 🙂
Yes, it is the best invention ever. EVER!
I feel like I don’t know how I lived without one. Although my slightly-sliced thumb is wishing to go back to the days of knives… 😉
I’m definitely eating more veggies with this contraption, I love it!
This is amazing!!!
