Ingredients
2
large sweet potatoes
peeled
1 cup dried figs
about 15 figs, roughly diced
1
4 ounce package prosciutto (8 large slices), cut into 1 inch squares
1 cup slivered almonds
1
4 ounce container crumbled goat cheese (optional)(equals 1 cup)
1/2
teaspoon
sea salt
1/2
tablespoon
olive oil
2
tablespoons
water
Instructions
Chop the pointed ends off your sweet potato and
spiralize it
. If you don't have a
spiralizer
you can use a
julienne peeler
to make noodles
Cut prosciutto into strips, roughly 1-inch long and 1/4-inch wide
Slice dried figs into thin rounds, being sure to remove the hard stems
Place a
large saute pan
over medium heat with your olive oil
Add your sweet potato noodles and season with sea salt
Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until sweet potato noodles soften and are no longer raw. Be sure to stir frequently so that the noodles don't burn.
When done, transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet over medium heat, add sliced proscuitto and cook for about 3 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking or stirring often
Add sliced figs and slivered almonds and cook for another 3 minutes until your figs are soft and slightly browned. Stir often
Add 1/2 cup of your goat cheese and water, stir together to melt the cheese slightly and then add all of the sweet potato noodles
Stir until well combined and remove from the heat
Serve immediately and garnish with your remaining 1/2 cup goat cheese.
