How to Make Zucchini Noodles (Zoodles)
If you’re looking for a guilt-free option to satisfy your cravings for spaghetti without the added carbs, then zucchini noodles are the answer.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini medium
Instructions
- Rinse a medium zucchini and slice off the ends.
- Cut the zucchini in half, crosswise.
- Secure the zucchini on the spiralizer, and turn the handle to create the “noodles.”
- Alternatively, use a sharp vegetable peeler or julienne peeler to slice long, thin strips.
- Once you’ve spiraled or peeled the zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and leave it for about ten minutes to drain out excess moisture.
- Rinse the zucchini to get rid of the salt and pat dry the zucchini with a paper towel.
