Easy Spiralized Sweet Potatoes
Do you have a spiralizer? I have to admit, I was late to the party. I made this Vietnamese Zoodle Salad and it was so good I decided to try spiralized sweet potatoes. Sweet potato noodles. Swoodles? Spoodles?
Whatever you call them, they were wonderful!! This whole Miso Chicken with Sweet Potato Noodles was so wonderful that after having leftovers for dinner last night, Mr. Sidewalk Shoes insisted that I put this in regular rotation.
If you're looking for more spiralized recipes, these two books are my favorites: Inspiralized: Turn Vegetables into Healthy, Creative, Satisfying Meals and Inspiralized and Beyond: Spiralize, Chop, Rice, and Mash Your Vegetables into Creative, Craveable Meals.
Easy Miso Chicken!
This recipe is so simple. You marinate boneless skinless chicken thighs in a miso marinade. While you marinate the chicken you make a miso coconut dressing. It called for coconut cream, I just scooped some off the top of a can of coconut milk and then used the rest of the coconut milk in a smoothie. You broil the chicken (though you could also grill it.)

Then the sweet potato noodles are tossed with some olive oil and roasted for only 4-5 minutes. They come out softened, but still with a bit of bite to them. Like al dente pasta. They were amazing!
The sweet potato noodles will definitely be my take away from this recipe. Though, if Mr. Sidewalk Shoes has his way, we will definitely be having this Miso Chicken with Sweet Potato Noodles again! I found this recipe in a Donna Hay Fresh & Light Magazine.
