Okay so we’ve been around the block a time or two with zucchini noodles. But we’re moving on up in the world as we head into fall and stepping things up a notch with Sweetpotato Noodles!!
What? Yup, you heard me right… sweetpotato noodles. As a frequent farmers market visitor, I’ve been stocking up on California sweetpotatoes like it’s my job. This summer I threw them on the grill and made them into fries. Last year I turned them into the most epic chili on the planet, and this fall I’m making them into noodles!!
By now you probably are all well aware of my spiralizer obsession. Well, it’s coming out again today. Although, if you don’t have one never fear… you can easily use a vegetable peeler and cut sweetpotatoes into long strips to look like noodles. Same thing – same flavor! (just a bit more prep time) These sweetpotato noodles are paired with some deeply caramelized mushrooms, fresh herbs and of course… garlic! It’s the perfect vegetarian meal that’s loaded with just about every vitamin you need. Talk about a superfood dinner. Check out the video below on step-by-step instructions on how to whip these up and be sure to keep me posted on what you think! It’s easily one of my new favorite festive fall dinners that’s still really good for you!
Sweetpotato Noodles
Ingredients
- 3 medium California sweetpotatoes cut into noodles
- 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 1 shallot roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup button mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the chopped garlic and shallots and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Add the sweetpotato noodles to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes until they start to become tender. Add a tablespoon or two or water to continue to cook the sweetpotato noodles until they are fork tender and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper along with the red pepper flakes and remove from the heat.
- Sprinkle with the freshly cut chives before serving and serve as a main course or a side dish.

OMG this is so great! I can’t wait to try it!!!
I love your video and this recipe! A spiralizer is on my list of things I want/NEED 🙂
This looks awesome! I love both sweet potatoes and shrooms and red pepper flakes and love that this is vegetarian. Pinned! 🙂
Love this idea Gaby. Yes, I’ve done the zucchini noodles and love them but must try this. And love, love the mushrooms.
Interesting! I have yet to spiralize sweet potatoes. Need to change that this weekend. Looks tasty!!
Genius!!! I am going to LOVE these!!!! Can’t wait to make this!
I want a spiralizer. What brand you have, Gaby? Looks like fun! Can’t wait to try the sweet potato recipe!
this is the one I have and I LOVE it! http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/paderno-sprializer/
What a fun way to use the spiralizer. I’ll have to give it a try.
Perfection! Love the additional ways to use the spiralizer.
This is SO cool!! + I bet there’s some serious umami going on here…
Yum! I so need to buy a spiralizer!
I am totally making this for my family this fall!
Love this Gaby!! I would have never thought to make sweet potato noodles! Love your videos as always 🙂
Made this last night and it was great. I added some finely chopped rosemary when I added the mushrooms. Also added roasted eggplant. This would be great as a side dish.
oooooo LOVE the idea of having rosemary in this!! so glad you liked it! xx
Having a very DOH moment! How have I never thought to spiralize sweetpotatoes!? I would love these.
This looks amazing! I sense a spiraliser purchase coming on…
This looks great and I’m so happy to have another way to eat sweet potatoes! Never get enough of those!
LOVE this take. I’ve tried lots of vegetable ‘noodles,’ but never sweet potatoes. Truly can’t wait to try.
This is absolutely gorgeous. I need to try this immediately.
I. Love. This. Awesome noodle dish!!
Great dish:-) I thought it was a carrot;-)
As much as I loathe getting another unitasker for the kitchen, these sweet potato noodles kind of make me want to get a spiralizer. What fun!
Made this for dinner tonight. I used a Vegetti spiral vegetable slicer ($8-$12 on Amazon or Walgreens, etc.) to spiral to the sweet potatoes. I followed the recipe and directions exact as presented. Fairly easy to prepare and tasted delicious with the salmon we also fixed! The red pepper flakes spoke with authority! We liked it! We will definitely be making this again! Thank you so much Gaby!
hi Gaby, Sam here from drizzleanddip.com – I’m in the states and want to know which brand of spiraliser this is. thanks
This looks wonderful! Did I miss something? How many servings does this make? Thank you.
4!!
Just tried this 🙂 added some spring onions, five spice and soya sauce for a Chinese flavour!
However my lovely long swoodles seemed to shred up a bit during cooking. Any tips on how to stop this?
Cheers again for the recipe!
they fall apart a little bit – but I just carefully stir them so they don’t get to soft or fall apart!
Omg made this today so freaking delicious
I love mushrooms – rest of family does not! Any ideas for alternative to mushrooms here?
I’d use eggplant!
How do I get the recipe for the sweet potato noodle dish?
it’s on this post! https://dev.afterhoursagency.com/wgc/sweetpotato-noodles/
Made this last week.. it was the first time with my spiralizer and it bit me! However, I will be more careful next time. It was delicious and I will be making it again. Thank you for sharing!
