What are Zoodles?

Zoodles are zucchinis that are spiralized (aka zucchini noodles). They're super easy to make and can take on any flavors you add to them. The best part is, you can also use them in place of carb-heavy pasta and enjoy lighter dishes without all the starch that will fill you up quick, but not keep you full.

How to Cook Frozen Zoodles

Fact: zoodles can get very soggy very fast. So if you're using frozen zucchini noodles in any of these recipes, make your sauce, soup or base first, then add the frozen zoodles at the very end. They really only need to steam for a few seconds in a covered skillet before they can start to loose their waterā€”watering down the rest of your dish. Al dente is the goal here friends! Not mushy zoodles.
