The history of zucchini noodles is a bit murky, but it is believed that they were first created in the early 2000s by a chef named Juliano Brotman. Brotman was looking for a low-carbohydrate substitute for pasta, and he came up with the idea of using zucchini noodles. He shared his recipe with friends and family, and it quickly became popular. Today, zucchini noodles are a popular menu item at many restaurants, and they can also be found in the produce section of most grocery stores.
