When your spiralizer arrives, you take it out of the box and then what? What can you make? What are the possibilities?
Immediately, you Google “what to do with a spiralizer” and hopefully, you’ve found me. Hi!
You start clicking around my blog and everything might seem overwhelming at first. Well, today’s post is an overview of what exactly the spiralizer is capable of.
1. Pasta
Probably the most popular, you can use vegetable noodles as replacement in your favorite pasta recipes. This immediately adds added nutrients to your meal, while lowering carbs, calories and sugars. Plus, it’s an unprocessed way to enjoy pasta and is gluten-free and Paleo.
Example recipes: Shaved Asparagus and Sausage Sweet Potato Noodle Pasta // Cacio e Pepe with Bacon (Zucchini Noodles)

2. Noodles
Probably the second most popular, you can use vegetable noodles as replacement in your Asian noodle dishes. Whether you love Thai, Chinese, Korean or any other type of delicious Asian noodle dishes, you can recreate it using spiralized veggies.
Example recipes: Miso-Ponzu Zucchini Noodles with Tofu // Ginger Scallion Egg Drop Soup with Zucchini Noodles

3. Rice
That’s right. By placing your spiralized veggies into a food processor, you can create rice out of vegetables! The best vegetables for this are the harder veggies, such as beet, carrot, sweet potato and butternut squash.
Example recipes: Plantain Rice and Beans // Sweet Potato Fried Rice

4. Buns
Instead of using a processed piece of bread or sandwich bun, form your favorite vegetable noodles into a patty and create a bun! These buns are bound with an egg and add so much flavor and depth to any sandwich!
Example recipes: Spiralized Veggie Sandwich // Spiralized Ham & Cheese Sandwich

5. Fries & Chips
One of the blades on the spiralizer makes it easy to slice you vegetables into chips. Another blade makes it easy to spiralize your vegetable into shoestring fries. By replacing a potato with a lower calorie vegetable like jicama, you can instantly make diet-friendly “fries.”
Example recipes: Jicama Fries // Rutabaga Chips

6. Pasta Salad
Pasta salads are made easy with the spiralizer – especially because your vegetables are usually already chilled! By replacing regular pasta with spiralized vegetables, you can make this lighter option that’s certain to impress your guests.
