Prep Time 30 minutes

Cut the ends off your zucchini and use a spiralizer to create your zoodles. If they’re more than 8 to 10 inches, cut them into smaller pieces to make freezing and defrosting them more manageable.
Place your zoodles in a large bowl and add salt. Massage the salt into the zucchini noodles for a few minutes until it’s easy to squeeze water out of them.
Place zucchini noodles in a dishcloth or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess water. If you have a large amount of zucchini noodles, you can line a colander with a dishcloth and press out the water.
To remove any excess water, spread a single layer of zoodles on dry dishcloths or paper towels. Layer dry dishcloths or paper towels on top of the zoodles and let sit for 20-30 minutes.
Place the zoodles in a freezer safe bag, press the air out, label with the date, and freeze.
