Before cutting your zucchini one of these five easy ways, make sure you rinse and dry your zucchini.

Slices:

• Cut approx. 1/4 inch off of each end, discard.
• Start at one end of the zucchini and work your way to the other end making 1/4 inch thick cuts all the way through, resulting in circle-shaped slices.

Quarters: 

• Follow the directions for cutting zucchini into slices.
• Now, cut each slice in half and then cut those halves in half again, resulting in four quarters.

Sticks:

• Cut approx. 1/4 inch off of each end, discard.
• Cut through the whole zucchini, widthwise, resulting in 2 halves.
• Place one half on the cutting board and cut in half, lengthwise.
• Put the cut-side down on the cutting board and cut in half, lengthwise, again. 
• Repeat with the rest of the zucchini.

Sheets:

• Cut approx. 1/4 inch off of each end, discard.
• Pull a vegetable peeler down one side of the zucchini, this will basically remove the peel from that side (discard the peel).
• Continue to run the vegetable peeler, lengthwise, down the zucchini resulting in thin sheets until the entire zucchini is cut.

Noodles:

• Cut approx. 1/4 inch off the top end with the stem, discard.
• Firmly push the other end of your zucchini into the back spikes of a food spiralizer (we love this one!)
• Place the 3mm shredder blade on the other end of the spiralizer and slide so that it is firmly against the cut-end of the zucchini.
• Begin turning the crank so that your zucchini turns into zoodles. 
• Continue to turn the crank until the entire zucchini is fully cut.
