Spiralizer spiralizing recipe ideas inspiration

Tons of recipes on here!

Any tubular veggies makes a good spagetti or strut fry with meat

I am thinking about getting one. Can it cut broccoli stems? After taking the florets off, I always save the stems in the freezer for soups and such and wondered if I could have another option.

I have not had my device for very long so I've only made two things.

I've found some recipes on pinterest that I may try. I believe I searched using the terms spiral cut vegetables, spiralizer or zoodles.

LOVE LOVE LOVE my spiralizer and have made a lot of stirfry and 'rice' dishes with it. i've eaten more veggies since buying it than i've eating my entire life! lol
Ali on inspiralized.com has some great ideas that i build upon. i use her base and make it my own by adding different veggies.
my favorite lately is making 'rice' out of turnips, carrots or sweet potatoes. it's a matter of spiralizing them and then putting the 'noodles' in a food processor and pulsing it a few times until you get 'rice' - i mix it with lots of different veggies - pork or chicken for fried rice. this weekend i used turnips & carrots (spiralized then made into rice), purple cauliflower, onions, mushrooms and sauteed them w/a can of rotel and then stuffed bell pepper halves and baked them with a lil cheese on top. you can add meat to that mixture - but i left it just veggies.
something easy - spiralize a few carrots and make rice - brown some ground meat and onions (you can add mushrooms too if you'd like) and then toss in the carrots - quick and easy meal.
you can usually find spiralized cooked veggies in our icebox at all times - great to use in quesadillias, omelets, toss on top of a fresh salad, with soups, etc. - options become endless.
sorry this was long - but i do love my spiralizer and have had many friends buy one because of my facebook postings (i have an album dedicated to it! lol)
have a great day!

Loving all the ideas and feedback! Made Zucchini noodles yesterday - looking forward to having them for lunch! Butternut squash didnt work as well though - maybe I used the wrong size blade?

i tend to stick to the blade that makes the smaller sized noodles. i've only used a butternut squash once i the spiralizer and honestly can't remember which one i used - but thinking it would have been the smaller one.

i love that once something is spiralized it doesn't take long to cook - just a few minutes in the oven or a pan with a small bit of oil. beets were done in 5-7 minutes in the oven - the only problem was they shrunk like crazy!! i thought i had a lot until i pulled them out!! lol

What brand/type do you suggest? Sorry if I missed something above... I've wanted one for quite awhile but am lost in which one works best. Thanks for the recipe sites

I've used sweet potatos and zucchini to make alfrado and spaghetti. Also u can make sweet pitato fries and bake them...I haven't perfected that yet lol

I recently got into making sughetti (zucchini spaghetti) and i LOVE it! I just use a mandolin and it works out great. I don't cook my noodles, just add a cooked sauce, or even raw is awesome. I made a sauce last night using 2 small acorn squash (baked in the oven) 1 clove of garlic, half a cup of low fat gourmet cottage cheese, parsley, fresh basil, chilli powder and a little salt. Blended up in my magic bullet. Added some chopped red pepper and poured the sauce over my sughetti (made from 2 medium zucchini). Sooo good! Tasty, healthy and filling.

You can make a super tasty marinara sauce using a handful of cherry tomatoes, some sundried tomatoes (not in oil), a garlic clove, herbs and spices and a few dates. Pulse in the food processor. It's AMAZING! Add some chopped kale, red pepper and top with sprouts...yum!
