Golden Beet Noodles with Spicy Peanut Sauce

this …

For this recipe, I paired a spicy peanut sauce with golden beet noodles, which are milder than red beets and don’t bleed.  But, as I found out, they turn brown because of oxidization when they are sliced/peeled/cut raw. That’s why you’ll see in the video below that they get a quick dunk in water with lime juice (or lemon), and are then sautéed. This preserves their gorgeous yellow color. Golden beets are also nutrient dense, as excellent kidney and body cleansers and high in powerful antioxidants.

If you’re looking to add some protein to the dish, tofu or chicken would be great additions. And don’t skip the garnishes here – cilantro, crushed peanuts, and green onions. They add depth and dimension.

Don’t get me wrong, I still love a bowl of gluten-free pasta, but vegetables are so texturally different from grains that they’re in leagues of their own. But the most important thing that’s the same?

The satisfaction of the twirl. Enjoy, friends! xo
