Zucchini noodles are a great low carb alternative to traditional pasta, and they’re so easy to make! Here’s how to transform an ordinary zucchini squash into spiralized veggie deliciousness.
Cut the ends off each zucchini then cut in half to fit in your spiralizer. Apply constant pressure while spiralizing to create long zucchini noodles.
Place zucchini noodles in a colander and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let sit 15 minutes to remove excess water.
Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium/high heat. Add zucchini noodles and cook until bright green and slightly tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve with your favorite pasta sauce or toppings.
