How to Prepare Sweet Potato Spaghetti With Olive Toasted Oats [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Spiralize the sweet potatoes on the thinnest setting.
  2. Boil the sweet potatoes for 2-3 minutes, then drain right away.
  3. Toss the sweet potato spaghetti with the spinach. Set aside.
  4. Melt a the coconut oil in a big skillet over medium heat.
  5. Toast the olives for about 2 minutes, the add the oats, garlic, zest, oregano, and Italian seasoning.
  6. Cook the oats and olives, stirring frequently, until the oats darken and become fragrant. This will take about 10-15 minutes. If the oats don't appear to be darkening, stir less.
  7. When the oats are toasted, stir in the crushed red pepper. Add salt if needed, but you can probably skip it since the olives are pretty salty.
  8. Re-warm the pasta if need be.
  9. To serve, divide the pasta among the serving bowls and toss with the basil. Add a handful of oats over top and spoon on crushed tomatoes/tomato sauce as desired. Finish off with a drizzle of olive oil.
