This recipe for zucchini noodles with roasted cherry tomatoes and homemade vegan parmesan cheese is one of my favorite recipes of the blog.
This is one of my favorite recipes of all times from the blog. It is very easy to prepare, and the flavor and texture of the zucchini noodles goes fantastic with the flavor of the roasted cherry tomatoes
It is as easy as adding the cherry tomatoes to a skillet or cast iron pan, turn the heat to medium-high and let them sit there. Meanwhile, you just have to make the zucchini noodles which I lovemaking. It is so fun and easy. I use my Spiralizer, but if you don’t have one, don’t worry. Here are three different ways of doing the noodles.
Here are three different ways to make the noodles:
- The first picture is with the spiralizer; I have heard great things about this spiralizer from the brand Paderno (affiliate link). I have this spiralizer from the brand Brieftons and works very good (affiliate link).
- The second way is to use a regular vegetable peeler, stack the pieces and then cut them into ribbons.
- The third way to do them is with a vegetable julienne peeler. I have this julienne peeler from oxxo and love it.
Any way you prepare it you’ll do a good job. Really there is no bad way of doing the noodles. It is so easy that even kids love doing them. If you do buy the spiralizer make sure to check some of my other recipes:

- Avocado and zucchini salad

“Parmesan cheese.”
- Toast the walnuts for two to three minutes, be careful not to burn them. Remove them from the pan and let them cool. Transfer to a bowl of a food processor with the salt, the brewer’s yeast, and the lemon zest. Pulse several times until the nuts are thoroughly grounded, and everything is well integrated.
