Ingredients
- 1 zucchini washed and dried
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, remove the stem end of the squash.
- To use a spiralizer, place the zucchini securely on the spiralizer, and turn the handle to make the noodles according to instructions.
- To use a vegetable peeler or Julienne Y-peeler, lay the zucchini flat on your cutting board. From the cut end, run your peeler from one end to the other to make strips. Continue this process until you reach the seeds. Flip to the other side and repeat until you reach the seeds again.
- To use a knife, slice the squash lengthwise into even strips about ¼ inch thick. Then slice each strip into long thin sticks.
- Use the zucchini noodles as desired in a recipe.

Notes
- Storage: It’s best to enjoy zucchini noodles immediately after creating because they can start to release liquid and become soggy after a few hours. However you can store any leftovers in an airtight container lined with paper towel for up to 3 days.
