The Best Spiralizer Recipes

Spiralizers have to be the best gadgets to hit the kitchen in forever, because they help you make super healthy meals for your family, and have fun doing it!

Seriously if your kids are picky eaters and wouldn’t know a vegetable if it jumped up and spoke to them you need one of these in your life because now you can disguise those veggies as brightly coloured noodles!

Or you can fess up that they are in fact vegetables but let your kids lose with the Spiralizer and they’ll have so much fun making zoodles they’re probably more likely to eat them for dinner (though I’m not promising miracles!)

If you’re eating a Paleo diet and craving noodles then a Spiralizer is your answer too because you can make noddles to your heart’s content using zucchinis or carrots or even butternut squash!

Don’t forget to scroll all the way to the end so you don’t miss any of the fabulous ideas, and be sure to pin your favourites as you go so you can find them again later!

The Best Spiralizer to Buy

Before we get down to the delicious recipes we just wanted to talk a little bit about the best spiralizer to buy.

If you already have a counter top model that you love then feel free to skip this section and go straight to the recipes!

If you haven’t yet invested in a spiralizer but you’ve been drooling over recipes and you’re ready to give it a try then whatever you do don’t buy one of the tiny handheld models.

They just don’t do the job right and you will be disappointed and your spiralizer future will be over before you’ve really discovered the yumminess!

Instead you want to invest in a counter top model which suctions to the counter. There are really only two to choose between, the Paderno tri-blade, or the cleverly named Inspiralizer.

Let’s take a closer look at them…

The Inspiralizer

The Inspiralizer: Official vegetable spiralizer of InspiralizedThe Inspiralizer: Official vegetable spiralizer of InspiralizedBuy it here
Ali loved spirilizing so much she built an entire community around it (at inspiralized.com) and then went on to create her own machine for sale.

It’s nice and compact so it’s a good option if you have limited space in your kitchen.

It will fit in a narrow cabinet but it looks so good you could just leave it out on the countertop (where it’s more likely to actually get used right??)

It has clever suction feet to keep it stuck tight to the counter even when you’re sprilizing the toughest of veggies, like celeriac.

And it has four noodle shapes! You can turn your veggies into ribbon, fettuccine, linguine and spaghetti shaped noodles simply by twisting the “Noodle Twister”!

Paderno Tri-Blade Spriliizer

The Paderno comes with three different blades to allow you to create different sized noodles.

One makes noodles like spaghetti, one is for long thick spirals and the other one creates ribbon like spirals. You leave one attached to the machine and then there’s a handy storage compartment for the other two.

We’re linking you up to the tri-blade even though there is now a newer four-blade version because sometimes “newer” and “more” isn’t always better. The newer model looks nice but it just doesn’t handle veggies as well as the three blade version!

Spirilizing is a manual exercise!

We just wanted to clear this one up because a few people have asked about the voltage of the machines.

There is no electric involved here.

You have to do the work yourself… and that’s why it’s so much fun!

Are spiralizers kid friendly?

You bet they are! You need to be there to supervise of course because the blades on these machines are super duper sharp.

Spirilizing is fun and it’s a great way to get your kids involved in preparing their own meals; not only will they learn how to cook themselves but involving picky eaters in the meal preparation process is a good way to encourage them to try new things.

And who can resist vegetables that magically turn into noodles?
