We have recently begun a Paleo/ Low Carb style diet to lose some weight and get healthier. If any of you have attempted this lifestyle change, you know that you begin to miss certain types of foods and textures.
I’m married to an Italian, and so the concept of not having pasta or something that even resembles it is perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of trying to go paleo.
Enter the Spiralizer.
This product allows you to slice fruits and vegetables in all shapes and forms. In our recipe, we made “noodles” out of healthy foods like Zucchinis or Squash. Do they taste like pasta? No, of course not, they taste like the vegetable that you used to make the “noodles” but the can still be delicious.
How to use
Using the Spiralizer is easy you simply cut the ends off of the vegetable you are going to use and secure it to the Spiralizer.
Once secure, all you have to do is crank the handle and the vegetable or fruit you put on will become noodles or whatever form you choose to attach. In this recipe we are choosing to make noodles out of zucchini.
As you can see, the end result are some beautiful zucchini “noodles”. In this case, we sautéd the “noodles” with some olive oil, butter, salt, garlic powder and granulated onions. The end result was a delicious side dish that paired nicely with our meal.
Cleanup
Once you are finished using the Spiralizer, the main components can also be easily removed and washed individually so cleaning up after using is easy to do.
I highly recommend this product, especially if you are cooking paleo or low carb meals.
