How many carbs are in zucchini?

How to Cook Zoodles
Zucchini makes excellent noodles, but we call them zoodles! Using a spiralizer you can easily make zoodles at home. You also buy them pre-spiralized at many grocery stores. To cook your zoodles, just place a little olive oil in a skillet. Add your spiralized zoodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes. You want your zoodles to be tender but not mushy. And that’s it! Depending on what you’re using your zoodles for, you may add some butter and cheese for Cacio e Pepe Zoodles or you may use them for a Zoodle Casserole!
