Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Sweet potatoes (large)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Tahini (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos (Paleo-friendly soy sauce substitute)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted)
- 2 tablespoons Water (to thin sauce as needed)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and use a spiralizer to create thin, noodle-like strands. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the spiralized sweet potato noodles and sauté for 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the noodles are tender but not mushy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, coconut aminos, lime juice, sesame oil, and water. Stir the mixture into the skillet with the ginger and garlic, letting it warm through for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the sweet potato noodles back into the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the sesame ginger sauce.
Taste and season with additional lime juice, coconut aminos, or red pepper flakes as desired.
Transfer the noodles to serving plates. Garnish with sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and additional red pepper flakes if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo-friendly Sweet Potato Noodles with Sesame Ginger Sauce!
