- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until to your desired tenderness.

Notes
*Do not place a lid while cooking as this will result in overly soggy and watery zucchini noodles.

- To Freeze: Do not try freezing zucchini noodles. Once thawed you will end up with a watery mess instead of perfectly firm and sturdy noodles.
