Got a fancy vegetable spiralizer as a gift but don’t know what to make? Pipe Dream has you covered with three tasty recipes that will keep you satisfied.
Zucchini Noodles in a Mushroom Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
1 large zucchini
5 baby bella mushrooms
1 jar of tomato sauce
Chopped garlic
Diced onion
Oregano
Black pepper
Instructions
1. Chop one large onion — or use frozen diced onions — and add them to a large sauté pan with a tablespoon of oil.
2. Once the onions are clear, add chopped garlic, chopped mushrooms, tomato sauce and spices to the pan. Let simmer for 15 minutes on low.
3. Using your spiralizer, make spaghetti-sized noodles out of the zucchini. Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and simmer for five additional minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Serve noodles with a side of baked chicken or tofu.
Kani Salad
Ingredients:
1 package of imitation crab sticks
1 large cucumber
2 tbsp of mayonnaise
Sriracha
Black pepper
Steps
1. Slice the imitation crab sticks in half and peel into thin strips that are about the width of linguine.
2. Using the “thin” setting on your spiralizer, create “noodles” with the cucumbers. Slice the cucumber “noodles” into small strips that are about the same size as the strips of imitation crab.
3. Mix the mayonnaise and sriracha to taste before adding it to the mixture of crab and cucumber.
4. Add black pepper to taste and serve in a bowl or over slices of cucumber.
Zucchini Shoestring Fries
Ingredients:
1 large zucchini
Flour
2 eggs
Black pepper
Salt
Chili powder
Steps
1. Using your spiralizer, create thin zucchini noodles. Use a knife to cut the zucchini into the smaller segments.
2. In one bowl, mix together the flour, black pepper, salt and chili powder. In another bowl, whisk together the two eggs.
3. Dunk the zucchini in egg and then dredge in the flour before placing it on a tinfoil-lined pan.
4. Bake the fries at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes until they are golden brown.
