The veggie spiralizer is one of those gadgets that is worth the coveted cabinet space in your kitchen. Trust me, you want one. In a house like mine, where the “pasta to every other dinner food” ratio is heavily skewed, it can be a game changer.
And, if you happen to be in a situation where you are trying to trick someone (even yourself) into eating more vegetables, it will definitely give you the upper hand. If you are just looking to give your French fries some extra oomph, a spiralizer can do that, too.
If you don’t have one yet and don’t know how to go about choosing the right one for you, check out this comparison. Any of these options would make you look like a spiralizing pro, and they are all relatively easy to find.
