You can configure this. See: http://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/SerializeDateTimeZoneHandling.htm

Here's an example:

public void Config(IAppBuilder app)
{
    var config = new HttpConfiguration();

    var jsonFormatter = config.Formatters.OfType().First();
    jsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.DateTimeZoneHandling = DateTimeZoneHandling.Local;

    app.UseWebApi(config);
}
