Notes
If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne cutter or a knife, but this is a bit time-consuming. There are lots of great spiralizers out there for different price points.
Make sure the zucchini is centered on the spiralizer. That way, you’ll end up with more of the “best” zucchini noodles, which are the ones that include the edges and skin.
What to do with the core? No need to waste, toss it in a stir fry!
Adjust the level of chili flakes if you want more or less spice.
