Directions

Prep 15 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    Spiralize the sweet potatoes or use a peeler to create noodle-like strips; set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the sweet potato noodles and cook for 5-7 minutes, tossing frequently, until cooked to your preference.

  3. 3

    In another skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds, then add onions.

    Once noodles are done, add them to the skillet with bacon. Toss to combine, then turn off the heat.
