How to Make Zucchini Noodles: Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini
Start by washing the zucchinis under running water, then drying them. Using a spiraliser or vegetable peeler, turn them into long, thin strands resembling spaghetti. Proceed to place the noodles on a paper towel and gently press to remove moisture, which will prevent sogginess while cooking.
Step 2: Preheat the Cooktop
Set a non-stick pan on your Induction Cooktop and adjust to medium heat. Its 2000W power ensures the pan heats evenly within seconds, allowing you to start cooking right away.
Step 3: Sauté the Garlic
Pour olive oil into the pan. Add finely minced garlic once the oil is hot. Let the garlic cook for about a minute until it releases a rich aroma and turns lightly golden.
Step 4: Add the Zucchini Noodles
Add zucchini noodles to the pan. Add salt, pepper, and chilli flakes, and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Stir and toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the garlic oil.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Turn off the heat, add fresh herbs or a light sprinkle of Parmesan. Serve immediately for a warm, crisp, and satisfying bowl of garlic zucchini noodles.
Tips on How to Make Zucchini Noodles at Home
- Avoid Overcooking: Zucchini releases moisture quickly. Cook it just until slightly tender to retain a pleasant crunch and prevent it from turning mushy.
- Pat Dry Before Cooking: After spiralising, press the noodles gently with a paper towel to remove excess water. This step ensures they stay firm while sautéing.
- Use Medium Heat: Cooking on medium heat helps maintain the perfect texture and flavour balance. The Wipro Induction Cooktop's precision control makes this easy.
- Add salt in the end: Salt draws out water. Add it toward the end of cooking to keep noodles from becoming watery.
- Enhance with Proteins: Toss in grilled chicken, prawns, or tofu for a wholesome, high-protein twist.
- Play with Flavours: Try different sauces, like basil pesto, marinara, or lemon butter, for variety.
