Do you have a method for storing your zucchini noodles, short or long term?

I make them, portion them in ziplocks and then freeze them. One medium zucchini makes one serving, If you have some that have grown really big, you’ll have to cut them into slabs that fit your zoodle-maker, and take out the seeds.

You can also make them and store in the fridge, but use within 3 days or so.

When I want some, I start from frozen, put them in a pan either with water if I’m just going to steam them, or with oil and butter to use then either as a stir fry of sorts, or after warming them through (they don’t need to cook long!) I add them to other veggies with Parmesan cheese, maybe a little Alfredo sauce, etc. for a side dish.

I’ve also seen that people dehydrate them, but I’ve not tried that.

Here’s a pretty complete primer on dehydrating the zoodles or just strips of zucchini:
