Yes, I claim that my Sweet Potato Noodles with Chicken and super creamy Avocado Cilantro Sauce are THE BEST Sweet Potato Noodles Recipe you will try in your life :)
I love sweet potatoes in all its forms. Spiralized sweet potato noodles take this root vegetable to a whole new level though. It actually tastes different because of it’s shape. I dare say it tastes sweeter. It might be my imagination of course but I could swear is tastes sweeter and even more delicious.
Serve them with a simple chicken breast and the most amazing creamy and flavorful avocado cilantro lime sauce and you have a 15-minute prep dinner for Gods and Goddesses!
How to make sweet potato noodles
All you need is some sort of Spiralizer. Let me post some affiliate links here for you to consider if you are in the market for one:
There are cheap spiralizers* that I’ve heard work just fine, require quite some elbow grease though. It’s hard work to get the job done but you’ll get it done eventually. The question is, will you ever want to make sweet potato noodles again, haha.
The one I have is like very similar to this semi professional spiralizer*. I love it. It’s still fairly inexpensive and it does a really great job and getting those perfect curly noodles. It does require some effort too but not even close to as much as with the cheap spiralizer.
If you love vegetable noodles more than life or maybe you have to eat gluten-free and don’t love the rice/quinoa/chickpea pastas on the market I would suggest getting this super handy dandy ultra professional spiralizer*. This obviously assuming you have a kitchen aid stand mixer. If your don’t, get the semi professional spiralizer :)

The most delicious sauce for spiralized sweet potato noodles
The main reason I claim this is The Best Sweet Potato Noodles Recipe is because the sauce is out.of.this.world! I mean, a sauce can always either improves or completely ruin a dish. In this case I think I’ve hit the Jackpot. This Avocado Cilantro Sauce joins the Out of This World Tahini Herb Sauce on the list of best of Green Healthy Cooking sauces.
The texture, the taste, the spice, the color simply everything harmonizes in this sauce. Now imagine you drizzle it on top of delicious quick-sautéed spiralized sweet potato noodles and a simple juicy chicken breast. Yuuuuuummm!!!

This sounds amazing! I finally recently bought a spiralizer and LOVE it. Best kitchen gadget ever! And that avocado sauce sounds divine! Wish I could have this right now!!
Thank you Vicky!! I agree 100% best kitchen gadget ever! My sister gave it to me as a gift and I couldn’t be more in love :D
Am def planning on making this! I noticed in the video you put in some jalapeño, but it doesn’t appear anywhere in the recipe directions. Is that a typo? I will add it no matter what!
Hi Lea, thank Goodness you noticed!! It’s an essential part of the sauce. It will never taste the same without Jalapeno. Thank you for pointing it out. Just corrected the mistake.
This is delicious!! I made it tonight. Thank you!!!
I’m so glad you liked it :)
This looks delicious. I think I’m going to give it a try. I do like to have left-overs for lunch/dinner, do you think this would keep well for a day or two?
Hi Mak, yes I think it would keep well. The sweet potato might release some liquid but other than that I don’t see how it won’t stay delicious. Make sure you store in an airtight container so the avocado sauce doesn’t brown. The ones I love best are the glass containers with plastic lid that have a rubber band around the edges. Those are truly air-tight.
What do you sautée the noddles in? I’m preparing this for dinner now….super excited and I don’t want to mess it up.
Thank you
Hi Glynda, I only just saw your comment!!! I hope your noodles turned out great! You can use a splash of avocado oil or nothing at all. The noodles are “wet” so they release steam and don’t stick to the pan. If I remember well I didn’t use anything to sautée them.
