    What Are Zoodles?

    Zoodles (also called zoodle noodles or zucchini noodles) are zucchini that have been spiralized, or cut into long, thin spiral strands. Zoodles offer a   low-carb and gluten-free alternative to traditional pasta with lots of flavor and fewer calories.

    How Do You Keep Zoodles Crunchy?

    There are several ways to ensure crunchy zoodles. First, you need to start with firm zucchini, so avoid any that are getting soft. Second, after spiralizing you can sprinkle the zoodles with salt and let them sit to release some excess moisture. Third, avoid overcooking the zoodles, which will make them soggy. By following these simple tips, you will get crunchy zoodles.
