37 Zucchini Noodles (Zoodles) Recipes

Summer is all about veggies, veggies, veggies—especially squash. Whether you are realizing how many zucchini plants you currently have growing in your garden or just noticing all the farm-fresh zucchini at the farmers' market, you might be asking, "What can I do with all this zucchini??" Instead of sending a loaf of zucchini bread to every friend and family member, use them to make zucchini noodles with these 37 best zoodles recipes!

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 that you can also use them in place of carb-heavy pasta and enjoy lighter dishes without all the starch that will fill you up quickly 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 lose their water—watering down the rest of your dish. Al dente is the goal here, friends! Not mushy zoodles.
