Roasted Sweet Potato Spirals

6 years ago

I’ve been on a spiralizing frenzy ever since I received my
new ‘toy’ last week. So far, I’ve experimented with zucchini, carrots, and now, sweet
potatoes.

My OXO Spiralizer and sweet potato experiment

The sweet potatoes were a big hit as a side dish with roasted turkey
breast and gravy, cranberry sauce, and peas. Sounds
like a Thanksgiving meal, doesn’t it? But, this was a mid-week, early August
dinner for two!

Roasted Sweet Potato Spirals – ready to serve

Here’s the simple recipe I used for the Roasted Sweet Potato Spirals:

I scrubbed 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes under cool running
water, patted them dry, then peeled.

Freshly spiralized sweet potatoes

Spiralized the potatoes with my new gadget and placed them in a large mixing
bowl. Added a splash of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a tsp.
or so of Herbes de’ Provence, a French blend. (Note: an Italian seasoning blend would work well,
too.) Tossed to coat.

Preheated oven to 425°F.

Lightly oiled a large baking pan with one-inch sides. Spread
the sweet potatoes in a single layer. Placed tray on a rack set in the center of
the oven and roasted for 15 to 20 minutes.

Before serving, a garnish of chopped parsley can be added.

It was that easy; now, come on, you try!
