7 spiralizer recipes that are perfect for fall veggies

The seasons are shifting, and it’s time that serves for more than a natural alarm clock to refresh your skin-care routine—it’s also a great opportunity to give your meal-prepping regimen a makeover. Enter the spiralizer.

This now-essential gadget transforms regular ole vegetables into zoodles, makes beets fun to eat, and minimizes kitchen work (while injecting the task with an ample serving size of fun) .

Farmers’ markets still have the last of summer’s zucchini crop hanging around, while fall root vegetables are hitting the stalls, too, which is great news for your fall cooking #goals. These are a few recipes using a spiralizer to help you settle into the new season.
