Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, spiralized into noodles

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Additional fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Use a spiralizer to create noodle-like strands from the sweet potatoes. If you do not have a spiralizer, julienne the sweet potatoes into thin strips. Set the prepared noodles aside for the next steps.

    Heat the Oil: Take a large skillet and place it over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, pour in the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown as this can cause bitterness.

      Sauté the Noodles: Introduce the sweet potato noodles into the skillet. Toss them gently to ensure they're well-coated with the garlic-infused oil. Allow the noodles to cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You're looking for a texture that's tender yet retains a little crunch.

        Season to Perfection: Once the noodles are cooked, stir in the chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, and optional red pepper flakes for heat. Drizzle in the fresh lemon juice, then season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld beautifully.

          Serve with Style: Remove the skillet from heat and carefully transfer the sweet potato noodles to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Finish off with some extra chopped fresh herbs for a vibrant touch.

            Dig In and Enjoy: Serve your garlic herb sweet potato noodles warm, perfect as a delightful side dish or a light main course. Enjoy every flavorful bite!
