There are many vegetables I would use the Spiralizer for, but I would probably use it most for cucumbers to create fun and healthy salads.
I have been looking for a vegetable spiralizer for a very long time. I bought one that does not work very well and produces more waste than spiral veggies. I am big into making unique salads and believe the spiralizer would open a new world of meals for me.
I have discovered and joined RecipeLion today and I am very interested in seeing what your site is like as I love to cook and play with food.
I would love to try the spiral peeler on my favorite veggie zuchinni yummmy

I would definitely use the spiralizer for zuchinni–and why is it that everyone can raise the stuff and I can’t? Unfair!

Carrots 🙂
I have many small zucchini and would love to make spaghetti with them.
Potatoes
Zuchinni

Sweet potatoes and all varieties of squash would get spiralized.
Both my husband and I are diabetic so would love this to use for making
zucchini noodles and other vegetables for salads. Thanks for the opportunity.
Spiral cut food – so many things to do.
I would shred butternut squash.
I am teaching a culinary arts class at a private school . This would be fantastic to assist in food prep for the class. Due to the ministry of our school, we are not able to get but just the basics, and this is beyond that!!
Sweet potatoes, zucchini and any other vegetables will be spiralized.
Carrots, love carrots!
Probably butternut squash, would like to fry it in butter and brown sugar as that is spouse’s favorite.

Would love to try beets and butternut squash
carrots, squash, and cucumbers
We get a farm share box every week, and I’m always looking for something different to do with all of the veggies I get. I especially want to try making zoodles, but I would use it on potatoes, cucumbers, kohlrabi, and whatever else I can think of.
I would love to make vegies noodles with this!
Radishes and cucumbers to make an unique salad
i would use it for POTAOES!!!!!
I would mostly use potatoes and cucumbers
I would use this for all vegetables except greens.
There are so many options with this tool! Zucchini cold or cooked of course, Apples to make a flavorful salad or slaw, home made butterfly chips from potatoes sounds like a good idea as well. I think I would try something with zucchini as a type of chip and make it baked in the oven so it would be healthier than frying. I have always wanted one of these tools!
Potatoes, squash, carrots, zucchini…you name it. This would be a great way to sneak some more veggies into my grandchildren’s diet
I put in a lot of veggie each season and do a lot of canning. WOW this would be great to have.
I just started eating a medaterainen diet and the spiralizer would make all my vegies look kool and apitizing
I would use it on zucchini.
I would like to use the spiralizer on zucchini, beets, carrots, parsnips and any root vegetables that can be spiraled. I would put them in a huge chef salad !!!!!
I would use the spiralizer on a number of veggies, but I think cucumber would be #1 so I can add some fun to my salads and trick my family into eating more of it!
Any veggie that works in the spiralizer is fair game for me!
I would try it on everything in my kitchen!!!!
Zucchini!
Carrots, zucchini & yellow squash, sweet potatoes, apples, cucumbers, parsnips, and anything else that crosses m kitchen and seems usable.
I live with someone who is gluten free but I am a lover of Italian food so I need this to make delicious meals we can both enjoy
Anything that can be “Spiralized” would be my favorite as making “0odles and oodles of spiralized veggie noodles” would be not only fun to make but healthy to eat!
I’ve never tried curly sweet potato fries, I think this is the very first thing I would try with a spiralizer.
I would use this spirilizer on zucchini and make spaghetti, yum! I have always wanted to try this, it sounds delicious! 🙂

All kinds of veggies……zucchini, potatoes, carrots, squash the possibilities are endless! ?
Cucumbers, carrots, potatoes. Just about any vegetable you can think of.
Squash and cucumbers
Potatoes!! Yum
How about apples!!! Yummy!!!!
I would use zucchini for sure, but I would try both carrots and apples as well.
My husband and I do the fast diet, so I would be doing pasta replacements with all kinds of veggies.
I have one with 3 blades and I love it! We use it all the time. Zucchini is my vegetable of choice but I want to try broccoli. I saw a recipe using broccoli stems and it looked great.
This looks like a kitchen gadget that would help you make healthier foods for your family. I would love one of these to fix cucumbers for my granddaughter.
Love zucchini noodles!
Instead of a macaroni salad, I’d be making a zoodle salad. Spiralize carrots, zucchini, cucumbers etc. Oh, wait! Now I wanna see if I can spiralize an apple, lightly saute it with a bit of butter and brown sugar. Omgosh, the ideas just keep coming!
Zucchini
Cucumbers fresh from my garden, potatoes, and onions would also be great “Delish”
I do hope that I win, on a fixed income and can’t afford many things.
Carrots, we eat a lot of them.
Potatoes, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, and carrots.
Mostly for potatoes (who doesn’t love curly fries?) but zucchini, apples and cucumbers would also be high on the list.
It would be fun to do potatoes and then we could have curly fries!!
Zucchini and cucumbers are obvious choices — but if it’s substantial enough, I might try sweet potatoes!
I would use it for cucumbers.
Zucchini. I won’t eat it normally, but would try it as fake pasta….
I would use the spiralizer for spicy curly fries and zucchini noodles
Zucchini !!! I love it everyway possible but turning it into noodles would be great!
Due to diabetes pasta is off the menu even though I love it. So zucchini noodles and any other pasta substitutes would be first choice.
The question is more like what I wouldn’t use it for. It would make healthy eating so much more fun!
Probably some kind of squash, so I could make spaghetti out of it. I found a great recipe for squash spaghetti from The Biggest Loser a few seasons back and have been wanting to try it ever since, but I am lousy at cutting up fruits and vegetables so if I attempted to cut the squash on my own chances are really good that there wouldn’t be enough left for the dish.
We are huge zucchini fans so I would love to use this to make zucchini spaghetti!
I would use potatoes and butternut squash.

I’d try carrots first for a recipe I have been wanting to try. Then any kind of vegetable I could get my hands on. It sounds like fun.
I would like to try using it with butternut squash. It is such a rich tasting food and a nice little pile of it on top of a scooped out baked potato would add a lot of flavor as well as provide some nice color.
zucchini, ice berg lettuce, i had it once at a restaurant, very refreshing.
Apples, apples, apples! I would love to use it for apples!
I would use it for zucchini and other veggies!!
I would use squash

I would use this for making GF veggie pasta for my wonderful mother in law who has celiac disease. She is always making things she can’t eat just for us and it would help me give back to her.
