Sweet Potato Pasta FAQs
Yes. Sweet potato pasta is a healthy pasta alternative, as sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins and minerals. However, it also depends on the preparation and toppings. This recipe uses few ingredients and so it is a healthy side dish. To make a balanced meal, it’s best paired with a lean protein like these Turkey Swedish Meatballs or this Easy Chipotle Chicken Recipe.
There are actually two ways to make sweet potato noodles. The easiest, and the way we used to make this recipe, is to use a spiralizer or julienne peeler. The other way is by processing the sweet potatoes to create a starch which is then used to make a noodle batter. I’ve never tried this second method because using a spiralizer is just so much easier and results taste amazing.
In this recipe the sweet potato noodles are cooked for 3-5 minutes.

Will these keep in the fridge? I like to meal prep 2 or 3 lunches at a time. I’d like to make bowls with the “noodles”, chicken breast bite-size pieces and broccoli.
This sounds delicious! I’ve kept these for 2-3 days in the fridge.
“Spoodles” I am going to try these for sure. Perfect FFC
So easy and delicious.And a great alternative to “zoodles” for when you’re wanting to limit your carb intake!
Love the sage butter with these sweet potato noodles! Such a great healthy recipe!

Would these be “poodles”?? OKay, but seriously, so delicious!!! A nice break from zucchini!
