Ever since buying my FAVORITE cooking gadget, the Inspiralizer I was hooked! I’ve been swapping pasta for zucchini noodles ever since. It’s the easiest way to make zucchini noodles, cucumber noodles, sweet potato spirals, spiralized beets and more! Prior to owning one, I used my mandolin but it’s so much quicker and easier (and safer) with this fun gadget – you NEED one!!

I took a break from zoodles for a few months because I may have over-did it this summer, but now that it’s January I dusted off my spiralizer and have been making them all week.

Tips on how to make perfect zucchini noodles:

  • Cut the noodles into 6 inch lengths so they are easier to eat.
  • Don’t cook the zucchini longer than 2 minutes or it will become watery. I usually cook it 1-1/2 minutes so they stay firm
    yet warm. You can even eat it raw, like in this awesome Raw Spiralized Zucchini Salad with Avocado and Edamame.
