Zucchini Noodles - Zoodles

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a rimmed 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Set a spiralizer with a blade that has approximately 1/8-inch wide holes. Cut the zucchini into noodles according to manufacturers directions (per spiralizer).

Step 3

If shorter noodles are desired then cut noodles into lengths about 12-inches long using kitchen shears (this step can be skipped, noodles are just very long otherwise).

Step 4

Transfer zucchini noodles to prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste and toss well to evenly coat.

Step 5

Spread noodles even. Bake in center of the oven until noodles have reached desired tenderness, about 12 to 18 minutes.*

Step 6

Depending on what you are serving over them, you may want to drain in a colander to remove excess liquid or carefully dab dry with paper towels. In a rush, you can just use tongs to remove them from pan and shake off and leave behind excess liquid.

Step 7

Serve with desired sauce (see notes below for ideas).
