Homemade Sweet Potato Noodles served with a Sage Brown Butter Sauce, the perfect dish for a weeknight {paleo & gluten free}!
So did I tell you that my husband just got Lasik?
He had the procedure done about a week and a half ago and has loved every second of it. Although he has said that he has reached for his glasses a couple of times in the morning and then realizes he doesn’t need them anymore. 🙂
One of the things I didn’t realize about Lasik is the your loved one can watch the entire procedure through a window.
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch at first, but decided at the last minute. Why not? If it too much for me I can just sit back down.
I’m so glad I did. That kind of stuff intrigues me, and it was interesting to see how they make the first cut to open up the cornea before they perform the actual laser correcting procedure.
The amazing thing was that it literally only takes 4 minutes per eye for the entire procedure and he was good to go later that night!
Which was good because I planning on making these delicious Sweet Potato Noodles with Sage Brown Butter Sauce that night and I wanted him to SEE it and enjoy eating it.
I had been looking for another excuse to use my spiralizer and was kinda over using it just for zucchini, so I branched out and tried it with sweet potatoes and so glad I did.
One word … Whoa!
You have to saute the sweet potatoes a little longer than you would zucchini noodles because sweet potatoes themselves are a little harder but the flavors in this dish from the brown butter… the fresh sage, the nutmeg, salty bacon, and the pecans is just amazing!
This was actually my first time making brown butter sauce.. and I was kinda nervous. I wasn’t sure if you could go past the brown butter phase from it being golden brown to burning it. So I was hovering the saucepan like a hawk.
It was actually easier than I thought it was and tasted absolutely glorious with all the other flavors.
Now because my husband had just had Lasik the day I made these Sweet Potato Noodles we had some extra company coming in to check on him, namely his parents. 🙂 Which meant that we had extra taste testers… they both approved and went back for seconds.
Soo… I’m thinking you need to try this! Asap!
