Learn how to make sweet potato noodles with this simple guide – it’s so easy and a great fun way to eat more vegetables.

Pictured is the corner of a rimmed baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, and covered by sweet potato noodles. Also in the image is a text overlay that reads "How to Make Sweet Potato Noodles."
Have you all picked up a spiralizer yet? I have been loving mine. If you’re scratching your head, check out my zucchini noodles with turkey bolognese, cucumber ribbon salad with yogurt herb dressing, pizza zucchini noodles, or turkey soup with zucchini noodles.

Spiralized vegetables are a great way to replace pasta and cut down on the overall calorie content of your meal. The bonus is that you’re also eating more nutrient rich vegetables AND they taste great.

Oh, and by the way, they’re super fun.

 I know plain sweet potato noodles might seem a little dull. Honest to goodness, they’re great on their own. You could totally eat them like this.

But sweet potato noodles are unbelievably versatile once you get the hang of how to make them. Which is what we are going to talk about today. I’ve been trying to focus on the basics more often – once you get the basics down, cooking is so much easier and so fun.

How to Make Sweet Potato Noodles

So here’s how we handle sweet potatoes and make sweet potato noodles with a spiralizer:

  • Scrub scrub scrub until all dirt is gone.
  • Peel (optional).
  • Cut off ends so you have nice flat surfaces on both ends.
  • Spiralize with the spaghetti blade (fine blade or 1/8-inch).
  • Spritz spritz spritz with cooking spray or olive oil.
  • Roast until golden brown and soft.
  • Stuff your face.

About spiralizers

I purchased the Paderno 3-blade spiralizer probably about a year ago and I love it. Then Paderno asked me if I wanted to try out their newer 4-blade spiralizer. Umm, YES. I tried it out and decided I love it. I passed my 3-blade on to a good friend who just started her own food blog, Chocolate Slopes. Edited to add – In efforts to be extremely transparent, I’ve now purchased and tried the Inspiralizer and it is my new favorite – it has genius features that make it a step above (better suction to the counter, better blade system, etc.).

Here are some things I love about the new 4-blade spiralizer from Paderno:

-The core that is produced is much smaller. This not only cuts down on waste but it also makes it easier to spiralize smaller vegetables such as carrots. And it makes it so you can get those ADORABLE tiny little spirals.

-In terms of storage, the 4-blade takes up less space and is safer, with all blades kept inside when in storage position.

-A fourth blade! Hellloooo “angel hair.” (I haven’t tried this blade yet but I can’t wait to!)

In the foreground, a pile of sweet potato noodles rests on an acrylic cutting board, with a partial picture of a spiralizer in the background.

Can you believe that pile of noodles? That’s from one average size sweet potato! You get tiny noodles….

Two hands of a child, cupped together to hold a sweet potato noodle spiral.

….and big loooooong noodles.

Pictured is a toddler girl, in a living room, holding a very long straight sweet potato noodle, demonstrating how long it is--taller than she is!

If this doesn’t make eating vegetables fun, I don’t know what does. We love spiralizing sweet potatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers. Coming up soon are carrots, beets, butternut squash, and whatever else I can get my hands on.

I hope you’re inspired to make your very own sweet potato noodles!
