10/12/2016 Fall Sweet Potato & Kale Pasta Get ready for one of the easiest recipes yet! It only takes a few ingredients and a couple minutes to make this festive Fall dish. We all know the joy of zucchini pasta, but we're in the full swing of October now, and it's time to step things up a notch with these delicious sweet potato noodles! If you've never used your spiralizer to make sweet potato noodles, you're in for a serious treat!   Wondering why sweet potatoes should be a staple on your Fall grocery list? Not only are they super delicious, they're also full of beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant and precursor to Vitamin A. Just a single cup of sweet potatoes provides over 200% of our daily Vitamin A, which is key for beautiful vibrant skin, immunity, and strong eyesight! Sweet potatoes are also full of fiber and anti-inflammatory nutrients. Not bad for a veggie that tastes like dessert!  Ingredients 2 medium sweet potatoes 1 tbsp coconut oil 1 small bunch tuscan kale, de-stemmed and chopped 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds Freshly shredded parmesan for garnish Microgreens for garnish Salt & pepper to taste Serves 2. 1. Spiralize sweet potato. Use that muscle to crank it! :) 2. Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a skillet and add sweet potato noodles. Saute for about 5 minutes until noodles are warmed through and tender. 3. Add chopped kale and continue to saute until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 4. Divide into bowls and garnish with pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds, freshly shaved parmesan, and microgreens.  So delish and easy! This is the perfect Fall side dish and would be an amazing addition to your Thanksgiving spread! Enjoy!  Photography by Kristen Schellenberg

I have a spiralizer and I love it so much! I've used it to make curly fries with my sweet potatoes. I've been debating on whether I should venture out and try the whole sweet potato noodles/ "swoodles" thing. Not so sure yet. However, this is tempting since kale is one of my favorite veggies. Haha!

How can the potatoes be cooked after 7 minutes- aren't they still raw?

Hi Reggie! You'd be surprised how quickly they cook when you use the thin blade to spiralize them into the noodles. They're usually pretty tender within 10 minutes of cooking in the coconut oil. I like them somewhat "al dente" but you could always continue sautéing for a few minutes if they don't seem like they're quite tender enough. Let me know how it goes! :) Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
