  • Dry your noodles: After spiralizing, pat the veggie noodles with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Mix textures: Combine soft noodles with crunchy veggies like bell peppers for a more interesting bite.
  • Add acid last: Lemon juice or vinegar should be added off the heat to keep their brightness intact.
