When life gives you zucchini squash, make zoodles.
We are riding this zoodle train, because they’re fresh and easy to prepare. And, since they’re fairly neutral in flavor, zoodles have a nice way of complementing an array of ingredients and spices. These Fiesta Style Zoodles are packed with a bunch of flavor and a little bit of spice. You can serve them at your next party or enjoy them for date night at home.
