    Well, my recommendation is to use them in an Asian noodle salad with a sesame ginger dressing. You can add other vegetables, such as bell peppers and carrots, for color. Chopped nuts are also a great idea, as they give it a protein boost.

    You can avoid soggy zoodles by sautéing them in a minimal amount of liquid or eating them raw. If you sauté your zoodles and plan to eat them with sauce, cook them separately from the sauce. Once they’re cooked, drain them in a strainer or colander before combining them with the sauce. They also work well in soup—it won’t matter if they’re soggy if they’re in a broth!

    Zoodles are simply shredded zucchini. If you eat them raw, they’ll be mildly sweet with a hint of bite. Once you cook them, the flavor becomes milder. Much like regular pasta, they’ll also take on the flavor of any sauces or seasonings you use with them.

    Nope—it’s perfectly okay to eat them raw. Just keep in mind that raw zoodles will be crispier and have a stronger flavor than cooked ones.
