Eggplant Noodles

If you’re on the ketogenic diet, and you’re looking for a vegetable that can be used as noodles, I bet you’ve never thought about using eggplant noodles to keep your diet low carb, but not have a dripping wet mess that can sometimes be the case with zucchini noodles.

Eggplant noodles have a great taste and tend to absorb the sauce that its combined with. Perfect for pasta sauces like bolognese, carbonara or Milanese.

The easiest way to get the noodle shape from an eggplant is to slice it with a knife. Because the vegetable is relatively soft, it doesn’t work extremely well in vegetable spiralizers. This makes this type of noodle a little bit laborsome, but anything that has been worked on in the kitchen is filled with love and joy, so I guess it depends on how you look at it.

The photo above is simply eggplant mixed with olive oil, to create a beautifully balanced noodle with a slippery gelatinous feeling much like what you would get with ordinary pasta. This keto friendly pasta substitute was easy to photograph, so don’t think this is some crazy made up photography trick.
