spiralizer

Zucchini noodle maker

A spiralizer is a kitchen tool that cuts vegetables into long, curly strands resembling noodles.

It works by rotating produce against a blade, producing spiral ribbons from zucchini, carrots, or potatoes: I used the spiralizer to make zucchini noodles.

Popular with low-carb dieters seeking pasta substitutes.
