You can make zucchini noodles at home or purchase them from select health food stores. Thin zoodles tend to preserve better than thick or wide zoodles.

The salt will help preserve your zoodle’s texture while in storage.

Put your colander in a secure place since you’ll be letting it sit there for a while. Avoid thick pieces of fabric as you’ll have a harder time draining them.

If necessary, hold the cloth bag shut using pins or clamps.

Though you can keep your zoodles in a single, large bag, smaller storage portions are more likely to keep their form and texture once thawed. It’s important to keep your zucchini noodles compressed, so do not store them in firm containers like mason jars. If your zoodles feel soft and flimsy, repeat the drying process.
