1 1” (2.5 cm) piece peeled fresh gingerroot (1 tbsp/15 mL grated)
1/2 cup (125 mL) smooth cashew, almond, or peanut butter
1/4 - 1/2 cup (50-125 mL) water (see cook’s tip)
1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh lime juice
1 tbsp (15 mL) gluten-free soy sauce
1/2 tbsp (7 mL) honey
1/2 tsp (2 mL) toasted sesame oil
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried red pepper flakes (optional)

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, ends trimmed, and cut into halves or thirds (about 1¾ lbs./750 g)

3 cups (750 mL) small fresh broccoli florets (about 8 oz/250 g)

Directions

For the sauce, grate the gingerroot with the Adjustable Zester to measure 1 tbsp (15 mL).
Combine all the sauce ingredients in the Manual Food Processor, and process until well blended. Set aside.
Spiralize the sweet potatoes with the fettuccine blade on a veggie spiralizer; set aside. Trim the noodles with the Professional Shears to shorten the strands.
Heat the oil in the 12” (30-cm) Signature Nonstick Skillet over medium-high heat for 3–5 minutes, or until shimmering. Add the bell pepper, broccoli, and chicken. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the sweet potatoes, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat. Mix the sauce into the noodles. Garnish as desired.
