Spicy Roasted Sweet Potato Spirals with Guacamole
My sister-in-law bought me a KitchenAid spiralizer attachment
for my stand mixer this Christmas. Initially I had put it on my wish list with thoughts of making lots of zucchini noodles to swap out in some of my favorite pasta dishes. As soon as I opened my present though, I had to try it out and the only vegetable I had on hand was sweet potatoes. Naturally my impatient self started spiralizing them all up because I couldn’t wait to see the results with each of the attachments.
After, I figured out the perfect attachment for my ideal noodle size, I started dreaming up all the possibilities. First thing on my list was to roast up some sweet potatoes for a crispy treat. After soaking, salting and roasting these beauties the only natural thing to do was to top them with a big old dollop of Guacamole!
These were seriously one of the favorite things I have eaten in a very long time! So simple, healthy and absolutely delicious. A squeeze of lime was the finishing touch for a zesty dish. These would easily stand on their own for a hearty Meatless Monday dish or they would make a great snack or side dish. No matter the excuse, I promise you won’t be disappointed with this dish!
I only wish we had some more football games on Sundays for the perfect excuse to whip up a batch of these Spicy Roasted Sweet Potato Spirals with Guacamole!

Can you do these in the airfryer? They look amazing.

I am actually planning on testing a spiralized sweet potato in the Airfryer, but haven’t had a chance yet. I will be sharing it if it’s a success!
Danielle Green says
I just wanted to share that I did attempt these in the Airfryer and they were a big fail. Some of them got burnt while others were still mushy. It also just kind of dehydrated them. I wouldn’t recommend it in the Airfryer. Stick to the oven!

What is the purpose of soaking the sweet potato in hot salt water?
Danielle Green says
It helps draw out some of the moisture so the potatoes are crispier.
