- 2-3 medium-size zucchini
- ¼-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Spiralize your zucchini using a spiralizer. Spread over a layer of paper towels and sprinkle with salt, then cover with another layer of paper towels. Allow the zucchini to sit for 20-30 minutes to draw out moisture from the noodles.
Roll the zucchini noodles up in the paper towel and give them a good squeeze to remove excess water.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and al dente. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce.
