It’s been two and a half years since I first posted the incredibly popular 14 Methods to Make Zucchini Noodles. I almost can’t believe it!

Today I’m excited to share TWO additional ways to make zucchini noodles, bringing the method count up to sixteen.

Method 15: Regular and Thin Spaghetti-sized Noodles

 

• Product name: GEFU Spirelli Spiral Slicer (Blue) [Buy on Amazon]
• Description: With the Spiral Slicer you can conjure up endless julienne strips of carrot, radish, cucumber and all kinds of other firm vegetables. The 2x 3mm or 3.5 x 5mm spirals are perfect to create vegetable stir fries or pasta dishes. Also great for garnishes and plating.
• Pros:
  • Awesome for traveling
  • It’s incredibly light-weight and compact with a height just under 5 inches
  • Blades tucked on the inside
  • They come in 5 bright colors
  • Prime shipping through Amazon is available
  • Good for small to medium-sized cylindrical vegetables i.e. carrots, zucchini, cucumbers, daikon radish, etc.
  • Dishwasher safe

 

• Cons:
  • I find the lid useless, the teeth don’t hold on. It’s easier to hold the vegetable directly
  • Will not work on round or bulbous vegetables
  • About 1.5-2 inches of vegetable will not turn into a noodle

Overall, I recommend. It’s sturdy, but light-weight, perfect for camping or traveling. I would like to now if TSA allows it as a carry on item

Method 16: Short and Sturdy Noodles

• Product name: The Zuudlemaker – Julienne Vegetable Slicer [Buy on Amazon]
• Description: A non-traditional grater with two rows of teeth set after a long plank

• Pros:
  • It’s slim and fits in a drawer perfectly
  • Another tool that would travel well
  • Produces a thicker sturdier strand of noodle that retains more of the ‘water’ (seen above, the result of this tool on the left and a traditional grater on the right)
  • Good on all vegetable sizes
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Comes with a free recipe booklet for immediate inspiration
  • Wears well and stays sharp
• Cons:
  • Doesn’t come with a safety guard, but that is easily remedied by having gloves on hand

Overall, I definitely recommend this tool. I prefer it 1,000 times over the traditional grater, the quality of the grate is just amazing.
