Sweet Potato Pad Thai recipe:
Sweet potato "noodles" (spiralized sweet potatoes) are a nutritious, gluten-free alternative to starchy rice or wheat noodles. Look for them in the produce department of your supermarket. If you have a spiralizer, you can certainly make your own "swoodles" (start with 2 medium sweet potatoes).
Ingredients:

3 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 ½ tablespoons fish sauce

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons chile-garlic sauce

1 teaspoon peanut oil plus 1/4 cup, divided

4 large eggs, beaten

2 12-ounce packages sweet potato "noodles" (11 cups), long strands cut into 2 or 3 pieces

1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 bunch scallions, sliced into 1-inch pieces

3 large cloves garlic, minced

3 cups bean sprouts

¼ cup unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped

⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro

4 lime wedges
Directions:
Step 1
Combine vinegar, fish sauce, honey and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl. Place near the stove.

Step 2
Heat a large wok or skillet over high heat until hot. Swirl in 1 teaspoon oil. Add eggs and cook, without stirring, until set on the bottom, 30 to 45 seconds. Flip over and cook until completely set, about 30 seconds more. Transfer to a cutting board and slice or chop.

Step 3
Swirl the remaining 1/4 cup oil into the wok (or skillet). Add sweet potato noodles, bell pepper, scallions and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add bean sprouts, the reserved sauce and the cooked egg; toss until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve, garnished with peanuts, cilantro and lime wedges.

Rosemary Chicken with Sweet Potatoes recipe:
Chicken and sweet potatoes unite with the delicious taste of rosemary in this easy, one-skillet meal. Because we use parcooked and unseasoned sweet potatoes, the cooking time is much shorter--making this recipe perfect for weeknight cooking.
Ingredients:

4 teaspoons canola or olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon snipped fresh rosemary

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 20-ounce package refrigerated diced sweet potatoes, such as Simply Potatoes®

2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, halved crosswise

1 lemon, thinly sliced
Directions:
Step 1
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 3 teaspoons of the oil over medium. Stir in garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Add potatoes; toss to coat. Cook, covered, 5 minutes (do not stir).

Step 2
Push potatoes to one side of skillet. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to other side of skillet. Arrange chicken in skillet alongside potatoes. Cook, uncovered, 8 minutes.

Step 3
Stir potatoes and turn chicken. Sprinkle chicken with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, rosemary, and pepper. Top with lemon slices. Cook, covered, 8 to 10 minutes more or until chicken is done (165 degrees F) and potatoes are brown. (If needed, remove potatoes as they are done and continue cooking chicken until done.) If desired, sprinkle with additional rosemary.

Garlic Roasted Salmon & Brussels Sprouts recipe:
Roasting salmon on top of Brussels sprouts and garlic, flavored with wine and fresh oregano, is simple enough for a weeknight meal yet sophisticated enough to serve to company. Serve with whole-wheat couscous.
Ingredients:

14 large cloves garlic, divided

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano, divided

1 teaspoon salt, divided

¾ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided

6 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and sliced

¾ cup white wine, preferably Chardonnay

2 pounds wild-caught salmon fillet, skinned, cut into 6 portions

Lemon wedges
Directions:
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Step 2
Mince 2 garlic cloves and combine in a small bowl with oil, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Halve the remaining garlic and toss with Brussels sprouts and 3 tablespoons of the seasoned oil in a large roasting pan. Roast, stirring once, for 15 minutes.

Step 3
Add wine to the remaining oil mixture. Remove the pan from oven, stir the vegetables and place salmon on top. Drizzle with the wine mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oregano and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bake until the salmon is just cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges.
