Recently, we’ve been experimenting with our spiralizer in a few new ways. We’ve gone beyond the basic noodle blade and tried out some other veggies. In the past, we have spiralized sweet potatoes, (Thai Shrimp Stir-Fry with Spiralized Sweet Potato Noodles) zucchini, (Chicken Piccata with Zoodles) and beets (Spiralized Beet Noodles with Whipped Feta). But we had only used one of the three blades provided with the tool. It was time to do more.

For this recipe, we were cutting both bell peppers and an onion with the ribbon blade (Blade A) and spiralizing some potatoes with the shredder blade (Blade D). The spiralizer worked beautifully on all the veggies and the meal was delicious. The friends that came to dinner the night we tried this dish also enjoyed it. I suspect their spiralizer will be getting more use in the near future, too!
