Zucchini Noodles
Delicious, healthy, a fun new way to enjoy "pasta."
Ingredients
2 large zucchinis (about 4 small zucchinis)
Coarse kosher salt
1 24 ounce jar tomato sauce (optional)
Equipment
Baking sheet
Paper towels
Grater with large holes
Measuring cups
Instructions
- Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, utensils, and produce.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Using side of grater with large holes, drag long side of a zucchini down grater in a long, smooth motion. Make sure to grate zucchini longways so that you end up with long noodles instead of short pieces.
- Grate the same area of the zucchini several times and then rotate to a new side and grate again, working around zucchini until you are left with a seedy core. Discard core and repeat with remaining zucchini.
- Place zucchini noodles on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove zucchini noodles from oven. Serve with tomato sauce that has been heated.
Tips
- You can use a vegetable peeler for wider noodles.
- Spiralizers create vegetable noodles. Hand-held spiralizers can even create fun shapes!
- If you’re in a hurry, you can skip the oven step, but it will result in a lot more moisture in the final dish.
