Cook’s Tips:
Large bulk carrots, also called juicing carrots, work the best in the Veggie Spiralizer. If you can’t find a carrot that’s large enough, you can grate two smaller ones with the Veggie Strip Maker.
A South Carolina barbecue sauce has a mustard base, and gets a dose of tanginess from vinegar. You can also make this recipe with about 1 cup (250 mL) of your favorite barbecue sauce.
