You’ve heard of spiralizing zucchini, but now it’s time to turn beets into noodles! It’s weird to refer to them as “boodles,” so let’s just keep them as beet noodles. We can tell you that they can’t be beet! Well, that’s the first and last pun of this recipe. Anyways, this recipe comes together quickly and is loaded with an array of nutrients. From the vibrant beets to the creamy avocado, this recipe is chock-full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and more.
Disclaimer: Beets can stain your hands and most everything, but the color does wash off. This is just for you to be aware during the spiralizing process. Consider grabbing a cutting board you don’t care about, or you can simply bleach it afterwords.
To clarify, the avocado sauce is not runny guacamole. The sauce is creamy, smooth, slightly tangy, and a perfect complement to the earthy flavor of the beetroot noodles. The color combination is also quite beautiful, with the bright green beautifully contrasting the deep, red pigment of the beets. To get the sauce into the perfect, creamy consistency, we recommend that you blend the ingredients in a food processor. You can blend everything in a high-speed blender, but a food processor will whip everything quickly and evenly.
