Southwestern Sweet Potato Noodle Bowls Recipes

SOUTHWEST SWEET POTATO NOODLE BOWL

Steps:

• Using a spiralizer fitted with Blade C, spiralize sweet potato into noodles. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potato noodles, season generously with Kosher salt and pepper, and cover with lid. Cook, shaking pan occasionally and removing lid to stir once in a while, until noodles are "al dente". They will have a slight crunch to them. If the noodles start to stick, add two tablespoons of water (repeat as necessary) and continue to cook until noodles reach desired doneness.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add kale and season generously with Kosher salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until kale leaves are a little wilted for a chewier texture, or if you prefer it more tender, cook for longer.
• Finally, in another medium skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and pepper, season generously with Kosher salt and pepper and a pinch of cumin and chili powder, and cook 5-7 minutes, until vegetables soften but still have a little crunch. Add frozen corn and cook for 1 minute, until warmed through.
• Divide sweet potato noodles, kale, and vegetable medley among bowls. Top with chopped avocado, a lime wedge, and chopped cilantro if desired. Devour immediately.

• Add the broiled sweet potato noodles and 1/4 cup water to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, gently tossing, until the noodles are coated and tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges.

• For the sauce: Combine all ingredients in the food processor until completely smooth. Transfer to a jar. (There will be plenty of the avocado dressing leftover to use as a dip or spread.).
• For the salad: In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes, herbs and greens together. Squeeze lime on top and set aside.
• Run the sweet potato through the spiralizer to make noodles, or use a vegetable peeler to turn it into ribbons.
• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a frying pan over medium heat, then lightly sauté the noodles for 2-3 minutes or until slightly softened. Transfer the sweet potato noodles to the bowl of greens and tomatoes.
• Without cleaning the pan, heat the remaining oil. Toss in the black beans, cayenne and coriander, and stir fry until warm. Add to the sweet potato noodle mixture. Stir everything in the bowl well to combine. Either add the avocado sauce and toss to coat at this point, or plate the salad and drizzle the sauce on top. Serve with sliced avocado, green onion and lime wedges if desired.
