    This creamy keto zucchini noodle mac & cheese is made with zucchini noodles to replace the pasta and is a quick and easy gluten free dish too. With only 4g net carbs, this is a great comfort dish.

    A delicious comfort food, this healthy mac and cheese is as easy as a cauliflower mac and cheese. There are many low carb versions of mac and cheese using cauliflower, it was time to try a recipe with zucchini.

    zucchini mac cheese

    In the Caribbean, mac and cheese is a very popular side dish but is often made with spaghetti in place of tiny macaroni pasta. It is cooked in a pie form and when cut, makes a hearty side dish. The joy of the Caribbean is that lasagna or mac and cheese are often served as a side dish rather than a main.

    With a nod to my time in the Caribbean I decide to make the zucchini noodles baked in a casserole form. However, you could make the dish without baking it but stir fry the zucchini noodles first, then add them to the cheese sauce. Either way its a delicious keto zucchini noodle mac & cheese recipe.

    HOW TO MAKE KETO ZUCCHINI MAC & CHEESE

    Take Zucchini
    Spiralize them
    Sprinkle with salt
    Melt cream, butter & cream cheese
    Add grated Cheddar
    Stir into sauce
    Add zucchini noodles
    Mix with cheese sauce

    COOKING TIPS

    • Salt the zucchini noodles well to remove the water. Let them sit whilst you make the cheese sauce
    • You could grate the zucchini instead of spiralizing it.
    • Add other strong cheeses that melt well such as Fontina or Gouda.
    • Other vegetable noodles, spaghetti squash or turnip noodles.
    • Top with bacon pieces or pork rinds before baking for an extra crumbly topping.
