    Wash and cut the ends off of the zucchini. Push the zucchini into the spikes on the vegetable holder. Next, twist the handle on the spiralizer while gently pushing forward.

    Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle the salt across the top. Then, stir the noodles to distribute the oil.

    Place the cookie sheet with the noodles in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

    #SpoonTip: Use tongs to move the noodles around a couple of times while cooking, so they don’t burn.

    Remove the noodles from the oven once they’re finished and let them cool. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste and enjoy!
