Tips for Perfect Zucchini Noodles

Don’t Overcook: Zucchini noodles cook very quickly. Overcooking will make them watery and mushy.
Remove Excess Moisture: If your zucchini noodles seem watery, you can lightly salt them and let them sit for 15-20 minutes. Then, gently squeeze out the excess moisture with paper towels.
