- Heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until to your desired tenderness.*
- Sprinkle with salt just before serving.
Bake Zucchini Noodles
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place zucchini noodles on a large baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until to your desired tenderness.
- Sprinkle with salt to serve.
Microwave Zucchini Noodles
- Place zucchini noodles in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute using 30-second intervals until to your desired temperature and tenderness.

Notes
- *Do not place a lid while cooking as this will result in overly soggy and watery zucchini noodles.
