20 Healthy & Easy Spiralizer Recipes

When spiralizing foods first became popular, nearly every recipe was for a form of zucchini noodles. Zoodles are a delicious pasta alternative, but spiralizer recipes have come a long way since then! There are so many fun and creative meals to make with a spiralizer. We've seen spiralizer recipes for pasta, soups, salads, noodles, casseroles and even desserts.

You can spiralize just about any vegetable that is firm enough to take a spin through a spiralizer. Some commonly spiralized veggies include zucchini, carrots, parsnips, potatoes (including russet and sweet potato), apples, rutabagas, butternut squash and veggies.

A common complaint about making recipes with zucchini noodles is that after cooking, they are watery and soggy. After spiralizing the veggies, pick out any noodles that are seedy then place the noodles into a colander and sprinkle them with salt. Let them sit before 10-15 minutes so the slt can extract the excess moisture. Don't overcook spiralized veggies! If you will be steaming, boiling, or microwaving the noodles, keep a close eye on them. In most cases, they will cook much faster than pasta noodles.
