Tips Equipment: Parchment paper Tip: Look for summer squash (or zucchini) noodles in the prepared vegetable section of well-stocked grocery stores or make your own using a vegetable spiralizer. If you don't have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler to make long thin strips of the squash, stopping when you reach the seedy center.
