For breakfast, slide your eggs on top of cheesy sweet potato nests flavored with cinnamon and ginger.

With lunch, try a confetti of spiralized carrot and apple with shaved fennel. A hearty beef stew with celeriac noodles may become your favorite weekend dinner.

For people looking for interesting new ways to add healthy produce to their diet, spiral vegetable and fruit slicers are just the ticket. Using this simple kitchen tool, you can turn a whole vegetable, such as a zucchini or sweet potato, into long, noodle-like spirals that can replace pasta or, with the help of a food processor, rice. Vegetables never looked or tasted better.
