FAQ
Can I make zoodles ahead of time?
Yes, but store them separately from any sauce or toppings to prevent sogginess.
How do I prevent zoodles from getting mushy?
Cook them just until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes, and don’t overcrowd the pan.
Can I use yellow squash?
Absolutely! Yellow squash works just as well for making zoodles.
