Spicy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Noodles with a creamy almond butter sauce. This under 30 minutes meal is perfect for weeknight dinners!
Hi there!
How was your week?
Did you send/receive any Valentines?
We stayed in last night and opened a bottle of red and made Chocolate Coconut Covered Strawberries while Harper padded back and forth, looking for a pet or a strawberry or maybe both.
So I can’t complain.
We have plans to go to my favorite restaurant this weekend, but until then I made you a little something gourmet from my own kitchen.
I’ll be honest: these Spicy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Noodles are kind of the best thing ever.
They come together in under 30 minutes for a quick nutritious dinner that tastes indulgent while being sneakily nutritious.
All you need is one-pan and the guts to drown your veggies in nut butter sauce.
Got it?
What You Need to Make Sweet Potato Noodles
If you’ve never twirled a sweet potato spiral around your fork, you’re in for something special here.
These Spicy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Noodles are hot and sweet, with lots of texture and crunch.
Toasty chickpeas add protein to a bed of spicy almond butter laced veggies.
The best part is, although this dish has all of the comfort and satiety of a plate of pasta, it’s entirely gluten and grain free!
My Favorite Sweet Potato Noodles
Can you ever go wrong with broccoli and sweet potato?
Sweet potato noodles and broccoli florets are the dynamic duo in this bowl.
Cece’s Veggie Co. Sweet Potato Spirals make my life a lot easier because I don’t have to use my noodle to make my own noodles, ya know?
These pre-packaged sweet potato noodles are spiraled, sweet, and the perfect foundation to this bowl.
If you can’t find sweet potato spirals near you, try subbing your favorite veggie noodle of choice (zucchini noodles or butternut squash noodles are great here, too!), or try spiralizing your own sweet pots at home.
Try adding in bell peppers, carrots, or bok choy for even more vegetable lovin’.
What to Do with Leftover Almond Butter Sauce
And then we cover everything in almond butter, because nutty healthy fats on veggies is good and good for you!
This Almond Butter Sauce is simple and oil-free with an easy almond butter and almond milk base.
Sriracha gives it heat, Tamari lite adds salty flavor, and maple syrup makes it just a touch sweet to balance out the spice.
I’m partial to roasted almond butter in this recipe, but peanut butter, raw almond butter, or sunflower seed butter (if nut-free!) would be fantastic here, too.
You shouldn’t have any sauce left, but if for some reason you do, save it as a dressing or dip for salads and vegetables!
How to Serve Spicy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Noodles
These Spicy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Noodles are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, and leftovers heat up well for a warm lunch.
I like them warm during the winter, but if it’s warm where you are, you can also chill these bowls before serving for a different take!
For toppings and garnishes, go crazy with cilantro, green onion, sesame seeds, and a big squeeze of fresh lime.
If you’re looking for even more heat, add a splash of sriracha before serving; but make sure to taste it, first!
Enjoy!

Description
Spicy Almond Butter Sweet Potato Noodles with a creamy almond butter sauce. This under 30 minutes meal is perfect for weeknight dinners!
Ingredients
Almond Butter Sauce
- 1/4 cup all natural roasted almond butter
- 2 TBSP Tamari Lite
- 1–2 TBSP sriracha
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/8 tsp ginger powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
Stir-Fry
- 2 tsp avocado oil
- 1 package Cece’s Veggie Co. Sweet Potato Spirals
- 1 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 small head of broccoli, broken into florets
For garnish
- green onions
- sesame seeds
- cilantro
- fresh lime
Instructions
- First, make the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond butter, Tamari Lite, sriracha, almond milk, ginger, garlic, and optional maple syrup until it’s smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium with a drizzle of avocado oil. Once the pan is warm, add the chickpeas. Cook them for ~5 minutes, until they’re lightly brown, then transfer them to a bowl and set aside.
- Add another drizzle of avocado oil to the skillet along with broccoli florets. Stir-fry the broccoli for about 5 minutes until the broccoli is tender-crisp, then add in sweet potato spirals and cook them for 5-7 minutes longer, until softened.
- Next, pour the almond butter sauce into the pan, stirring to coat veggies.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and cook them for another few minutes until sauce is warm and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve the noodles garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, cilantro, and fresh lime. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.

I made this over the weekend and it was so good! Loved having broccoli and how it cooked so well along with the sweet potato noodles! I see them in the store all of the time but never thought you could make them noodly! My wife loved it too which made me so happy. Thank you again for a great recipe!
Hi Kelly!
So glad you enjoyed this! The broccoli and sweet potato is such a good combo! Happy wife happy life? 🙂

LOL definitely!!!!
🙂
Really good way to get rid of way too many sweet potatoes. No fancy noodles, I microwaved and then took the potato through a box grater. After that I ran with the whole pad Thai concept, various available veggies, add a scrambled egg, soy sauce, meat, mushrooms, whatever. It’s all good
Hi there!
I love that you used regular sweet potatoes for this recipe with a box grater! What a fantastic sub! So glad that you enjoyed and your version sounds delicious.
