I took a break from zoodles for a few months because I may have over-did it this summer, but now that it’s January I dusted off my spiralizer and have been making them all week.

Tips on how to make perfect zucchini noodles:

Cut the noodles into 6 inch lengths so they are easier to eat. Don’t cook the zucchini longer than 2 minutes or it will become watery. I usually cook it 1-1/2 minutes so they stay firm yet warm. You can even eat it raw, like in this awesome Raw Spiralized Zucchini Salad with Avocado and Edamame.

Zucchini noodles are also great in Asian dishes, try this Kung Pao Chicken Zoodles, under 300 calories! And if you love shrimp scampi, I think you’ll love these Shrimp Scampi Tacos!
