The Craziest Thing to Spiralize, According to the Blogger Behind Inspiralized

Mar 7 2016 - 7:00am

We know you can't get enough spiralized recipes [1], as veggie noodles [2] have definitely become the It thing to make in 2016. That's why I've called upon Ali Maffucci, the food blogger behind Inspiralized [3], to share all of her advice on what you can and can't spiralize.

According to Ali, "One of the most surprising things you can spiralize is probably a broccoli stem; people don't usually realize that but you can actually spiralize the stem of a broccoli [4]." Ali uses spiralized broccoli as pasta [5], but we imagine it would make a really unique slaw [6], too.

As for the stuff to avoid? "The one thing people are surprised you can't spiralize well is eggplant [7]. The oddest thing I've ever tried to spiralize is a chunk of chocolate and a piece of chorizo, like a sausage link. I tried that once. It did not work, obviously," she admitted in a phone interview. Thanks for the heads up, Ali!
