Instructions
- To make the noodles-
- Option 1: Use a spiralizer or hand-spiralizer: cut off the ends, place on the spiralizer and spiral until entire zucchini is made into noodles.
- Option 2: Use a mandoline to slice into noodles (careful, the blades can be sharp!).
- Option 3: Use a vegetable peeler to “peel” into noodles. You may need to slide the noodles a second time length-wise for thinner noodles based on your preference.
- To cook the noodles-
- Option 1: If using noodles in a Virta recipe or any other recipe with step-by-step instructions, cook zucchini noodles according to recipe directions.
- Option 2: Microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed through.
- Option 3: Add one tablespoon oil to pan and saute for 1-2 minutes.
- Option 4: Boil 1-2 quarts water and cook for 1 minute.
- Option 5: Preheat the oven to 200F. Lay zucchini noodles on a baking sheet lined with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt to help draw out the moisture and bake for 10-15 minutes. You may need an additional squeeze (or two!) when finished to remove any remaining water.
- Option 6: Eat raw with your favorite sauce!
