Sweet Potato Pad Thai

After getting a spiralizer for Christmas, I’ve been seriously obsessed with spiralizing all the things. Zucchini noodles, squash noodles, carrot noodles, even onion noodles, and tonight, sweet potato noodles. 

Sweet potato noodle PAD THAI to be exact.

This might be the best thing I’ve ever made, not even kidding. The peanut sauce is liquid gold (I actually almost made a second batch to have in a mug and drink it), and you won’t even miss the real noodles! And it’s so easy to make – seriously only 20 minutes!

Plus, it’s vegan and gluten-free if you’re into that 🙂

Step Two:

  • Sauté onion and peppers on the stove in a hot pan, until translucent (about 5-7 minutes).

Step Four:
