Toasted Sesame Carrot and Sweet Potato “Noodles”

Lower in calories and higher in fiber than regular noodles, vegetable “noodles” are a great choice.

Toasted Sesame Carrot and Sweet Potato “Noodles” recipe made with canola oil Patricia Chuey

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds, divided 60 mL
  • 3 large carrots, peeled
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar 30 mL
  • 1 tsp minced garlic 5 mL
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger root 10 mL
  • 1 tsp honey 5 mL
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil 30 mL
1/4 cup sesame seeds, divided3 large carrots, peeled1 large sweet potato, peeled2 Tbsp rice vinegar1 tsp minced garlic2 tsp grated fresh ginger root1 tsp honey2 Tbsp canola oil

Instructions

  • 1. Toast sesame seeds: In large saucepan, place sesame seeds and warm over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until golden and beginning to “pop.” Remove and set aside.
  • 2. Make “noodles” from carrots and sweet potato by using a vegetable spiralizer or a vegetable peeler.
  • 3. Prepare dressing: In a glass jar with a lid, shake together rice vinegar, garlic, ginger root, honey, and 2 Tbsp (30 mL) sesame seeds. Set aside.
  • 4. Cook noodles: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, sauté “noodles” in canola oil, stirring for about 5–8 minutes or until still tender-crisp. (Avoid overcooking, which can make the “noodles” overly soft.)
  • 5. To serve: Drizzle “noodles” with dressing and sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp (30 mL) of toasted sesame seeds.
