Those of you who know me know that I could eat some sort of pizza dish nearly every day for the rest of my life.
That’s why I’m excited to share this recipe with you from my friend Ali’s new book, Inspiralize Everything.
If you’re not familiar with Ali, she’s the person behind Inspiralized, a blog exclusively dedicated to sharing spiralized recipes– she’s even created her own spiralizer! I had the pleasure of meeting Ali in person earlier this year (we both attended a cooking class at the Culinary Institute of America), right when she was in the middle of editing this book– so I’m thrilled for her that her second book is finally here.
Inspiralize Everything is a cookbook organized alphabetically by type of produce, from apples to zucchini, so you can easily find a recipe to work with using the produce you already have on hand. This book is loaded with recipes to accommodate a variety of diets, from paleo to vegan to gluten-free to raw, and it also includes several one-pot, make-ahead, and no-cook meals to make things as easy as possible. All you need is a spiralizer to get started! (I use this one, pictured above.)
Some of the tempting recipes included in this book are:
- Crabless Crab Cakes with Green Apple Guacamole
- Apple Walnut Muffins
- Chicken & Celeriac Rice Soup
- Winter Lasagna with Butternut Squash
- Watermelon Radish Nourish Salad with Lemon-Ginger Vinaigrette
- Cheeseless French Onion Soup
- Zucchini Noodle Bread with Coconut Cream Frosting
I rarely have the patience to make anything that takes more than 30 minutes in the kitchen these days, so this Sweet Potato Pizza Skillet from the new book was the perfect meal for my family last week– and I asked Ali if I could share it with you below. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did!

Reader Feedback: What’s your favorite recipe to make with a spiralizer?
Disclosure: Ali sent me a complimentary copy of her cookbook and spiralizer, but as as always, I am under no obligation to post a positive review. I will only share things here on the blog that my family will actually use in our own home!
I just made this and is delicious! And you can add whatever you like in a pizza. Y
This is a keeper
I have made this recipe several times and always enjoy it.
This is amazing! I used 100 % vegan mozzarella-melts. Added some sautéed mushrooms. After I turned off oven threw some arugula on top and popped back in oven for about 3 minutes. Served sprinkled with Follow Your Heart Parmesan..
Oh I used Myoko’s oat milk butter with garlic to cook the sweet potatoes. This is a keeper,
This was out of this world!Probably one of the favorite things I have ever made. My husband loved it too. Thank you, Megan!
