A spiralizer is a tool that is used to safely cut food into long, unbroken strips. A common use for this tool is to turn vegetables into noodles using the appropriate blade type. Vegetable noodles make a great substitute for regular noodles, especially for those who need to avoid gluten for one reason or another. They’re healthier to boot, functioning in the carb’s place while containing all the nutrients of the vegetable. You can eat more of these spiralized veggie recipes while feeling less guilt!

A common vegetable to use is the zucchini, since it lends itself so well to the noodle shape since it’s already long. The one downside is it breaks up some of the zucchini’s fiber, so be aware of this when meal planning. A spiralizer can be used for many more things, so take this list of 7 delicious spiralized veggie recipes as inspiration!
