Pork tenderloin and zoodle (zucchini spirals) medley is a fast and easy meal. Tenderloin roasts are inexpensive and healthy too. Serve slices of the tenderloin roast with a side of zoodle medley and a spinach salad. Healthy never tasted so good.

Zoodle (zucchini sprials) medley adds so much flavor and interest to this meal. Zoodles can be made from many different veggies such as carrots, parsips, sweet potatoes to name a few. They just might get those picky eaters to try some vegetables since they are so fun looking.

Zoodles Medley:
I purchased the fresh zoodles (zucchini spirals) from the grocery store since they were convenient, but pricey, therefore, I will make my own for the next recipe. There are so many fun recipes you can surprise your family with using a variety of spiral cut vegetables. For more inspiration and recipes you could invest in a zoodle cookbook. To save money on my zoodles and to have them as fresh as possible I will be making my own spiral cut veggies using my KitchenAid mixer attachment. I also found some very inexpensive spiral makers too. My favorite saute pan and tongs will make this recipe a breeze to make.
