In February of 2021, the Ambiano Electric Spiralizer was $29.99.
While manual, non-electric spiralizers may be less expensive, the Aldi price for an electric spiralizer is very competitive when compared to comparable models on Amazon.
In February 2018 and January 2020, Aldi also sold an electric spiralizer for $24.99, so it appears that this is a winter item that Aldi sells frequently, but it may not be available every year.
GST International, based in Houston, Texas, provided a three-year warranty on the prior Aldi spiralizers. While we don’t have any details on the 2021 spiralizer yet, we expect it to include a warranty.
With a handheld spiralizer, how do you make zucchini noodles?
Instructions

What meals are Spiralisable?
The majority of models work in a similar manner, and making oodles of healthy noodles is a straightforward process: “Attach fresh fruit or vegetables to the’teeth,” Cassie continues, “then turn the handle to force the food through your choice of blade to create vegetable ribbons or noodles in a variety of thicknesses.”
According to Cassie, there are a few vegetables that were made to be spiralized: “Root vegetables are ideal for spiralizing because of their hard texture, but you can also use cucumbers, squash, pumpkin, or firm fruits like apples and pears.”

Vegetable noodles are perhaps the most popular, and you may use them to replace pasta in your favorite recipes. This boosts the nutritional value of your food while minimizing carbs, calories, and sugars. It’s also gluten-free and Paleo, plus it’s an unprocessed way to eat spaghetti.

Raw zucchini is spiralized or chopped into long, thin strips until it resembles spaghetti to make zucchini noodles. With the rise of alternative diets that avoid grain-based pastas, spiralized vegetables have gained in favor over the last decade.

Spiralized Zucchini
Spiralized zucchini is the most popular vegetable for spiralizing, and for good reason: it’s soft, easy to spiralize, and has a neutral flavor that pairs nicely with many traditional pasta dishes. After giving it a good wash, I leave the peel on for added nutrients, but don’t forget to include yellow squash in your zoodle repertoire as well.

Spiralized Bell Pepper
Some of my favorite meals are Mexican-inspired, and there’s no faster way to chop up a sweet bell pepper for fajitas or tacos than with this method. To quickly and easily slice a whole bell pepper, use the straight blade. When you’re finished, simply remove the white pith and seeds.

Spiralized Parsnip
Spiralizing parsnips, turnips, rutabaga, celeriac, and other root vegetables is simple. If you want to make vegetable noodles that appear like pasta, use the fine or medium spiral slicing blades. To make the ultimate al dente vegetarian noodle, simply toss these in a pan for a brief saute.

Spiralized carrots are a terrific alternative to shredding or slicing carrots for salads or stir fries, and they look a lot better, too. For easier spiralizing, use the largest carrots you can find and a fine or medium spiral slicing blade.

Spiralized Sweet Potato
You’re in luck if you want to make fast food-style curly fries at home (in a much healthier version). Simply peel and spiralize the sweet potato. White potatoes can, of course, be spiralized as well. When creating curly sweet potato fries, I use the largest spiral slicing blade.

Spiralized Red Onion
Want to know why red onion is my favorite veggie to spiralize? There are no tears flowing down my face! Because onions irritate my eyes, I’ve never been able to cut one the customary method and walk away without sobbing. But, because the spiralizer is so rapid, I can slice a full onion without shedding a tear. That’s fantastic.
Any salad that you want to top with onions can be used in this recipe. Pickled red onions or caramelized onions are also delicious.
Spiralized Cabbage
You can slice an entire cabbage for coleslaw or braised cabbage in seconds, whether you use green or red cabbage. You may need to split your cabbage in half if it’s extremely huge, but if it’s typical size, just use the straight blade and whirl away.

Spiralized Beet
As I’ve gotten older, my appreciation for beets has grown, and I’m now a huge fan of these nutrient-dense vegetables. Spiralize golden or red beets to add a pop of color to any salad. Use gloves to avoid staining your hands when handling beets.
Spiralized Apple
To round out this list, I’m substituting a fruit for a vegetable because, well, why not end with something sweetapples? Use either of the spiral blades to make curly apple noodles, which are great for salads, or the straight blade to rapidly slice apples for apple chips.

Is it possible to spiralize cheese?
Spiralized cheese is just grated cheese that has been spiralized. Which is fitting, because the Vegetti is effectively a handheld grater, and an excellent one at that. The Vegetti is quicker than a box grater and produces a fine grate for chili toppings.
