1st time making Zoodles (zucchini noodles) using spiralizer!

The best spiralizer for making zucchini noodles (zoodles) according to the reviews is the Spiralizer® Tri-Blade Vegetable Spiral Slicer.

It produces sturdy, thick zoodles that hold up well to sauces. The Inspiralizer is also highly recommended as it has a strong suction base and doesn't require switching blades.

If you don't have a spiralizer, there are several easy methods to make zoodles:

1. Use a julienne peeler or regular vegetable peeler to make long zucchini ribbons, then cut into noodles.

2. Grate the zucchini lengthwise on a box grater using the largest holes.

3. Slice the zucchini into thin planks using a mandoline slicer, then cut into noodle strips.

4. Slice the zucchini lengthwise, then use a mandoline or knife to cut thin slices into noodle shapes.

Some tips for making and cooking zoodles:

Larger zucchinis are easier to spiralize and yield more noodles.
Make zoodles ahead and refrigerate for 2-3 days.
Salt zoodles, let drain, then pat dry before cooking to remove excess moisture.
Cook zoodles briefly by sautéing for 1 minute or tossing with a warm sauce.
