So basically all we’ve done this Fall is make casseroles, soups and sheet pan meals. And when I say it out loud (or write it I guess), it actually sounds like we are doing it exactly as you should when the weather gets chilly. This sheet pan crispy vegetable noodles and pork recipe makes for a super flavorful dish and delicious leftovers you will look forward to.
Get Your Spiralizer Out
I’m just going to get this out of the way…if you don’t own a spiralizer yet, you should definitely consider investing in one! They aren’t too expensive and don’t take up much space either. It’s a different way to enjoy veggies. In this sheet pan crispy vegetables and pork recipe, the veggies get spiralized to turn them into “noodles”.
Spiralizing is quite easy really, but some veggies are easier than others. We find that carrots are a little trickier, so try to use the biggest ones you can find for this recipe. The greater the square footage of the veggie makes it easier to turn them into noodles. You will be so glad you invested in a spiralizer when you enjoy this sheet pan crispy vegetable noodles and pork recipe! It’s so nice to have a new way to enjoy vegetables, and turning them into noodles makes it easy to get them crispy, which you can’t really accomplish with regular roasted veggies.
It’s All Down Hill After The Spiralizer
Once the veggies are spiralized, it is seriously a breeze to throw the rest of this meal together. All the veggies get put on a big sheet pan and tossed in avocado oil and sea salt. Then, you just break up the ground pork with your hands and sprinkle it all over the veggies. And, in the oven everything goes! Once the spiralizing is finished you will feel like a champ and the rest of the preparation is a breeze.
While The Sheet Pan Is Cooking
While your vegetable noodles and pork are cooking, make a quick sauce. You just whisk everything together in a small bowl or jar and then set it aside while the sheet pan finishes cooking. Go put your feet up and relax while you wait for dinner to finish cooking.

Crispy Vegetable Noodles and Pork Recipe (Paleo + Whole30)
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes, spiralized
- 3 large carrots, spiralized
- 1 onion, peeled and spiralized
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1.5 lbs ground pork
- 3 green onions, diced
- Salt and pepper
For the sauce:
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit and line 1 large or 2 medium sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Spiralize the sweet potatoes, carrots and onion. Place them on the sheet pan. Mix them up and spread them out. If the strands are too long, cut them with scissors.
- Toss the vegetable noodles with avocado oil and salt and pepper (about 1 tsp each).
- Next, break the ground pork into small pieces with your hands and nestle the pieces of pork evenly among the noodles.
- Place the sheet pan into the oven and roast for a total of 35 to 45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes to make sure the veggies cook evenly.
- The veggie noodles are done when they are tender and have crispy bits all over. Watch them closely in the last 10 minutes to ensure that they don’t burn.
- While the noodles and pork are cooking, prepare the sauce by placing all of the sauce ingredients into a bowl or jar and whisking well. Chop green onions as noted.
- Once the noodles and pork are done, remove from the oven. Sprinkle the green onion over everything and toss to mix.
- Spoon some sauce onto each serving of the crispy noodles and pork and mix to coat. Enjoy.
I am making this for the first time and wondered if there’s a trick to spiralizing the onions. While I did so the layers just kept falling off, so I will just slice the remaining pieces thinly. I can’t wait to taste it based on everyone else’s comments!
I just cut the ends off and stuck it on our spiralizer :). It’s ok if some fall off and just end up as thin slices. You’ll have to report back on how you liked it!
My husband and I couldn’t stop complimenting the taste after every single bite! It was SO flavorful and we will absolutely be adding it to our staple meals!
Hooray! So happy you both enjoyed this one so much! Thank you for sharing on IG and for taking the time to come back to our site and leave a review. We’re truly grateful! 🙂
One of the best whole 30 recipes I have ever made and ALSO one of the quickest! The flavours all mixed together just work in this dish. I highly recommend. Can’t wait to try more recipes from real simple good.
Hooray! We love hearing that you enjoyed this one so much! And we can’t wait to see what you try next! Thanks for taking the time to come back and leave a rating and review! We really appreciate it! 🙂
This recipe saved me on my first Whole 30. Serious flavor – delicious!!!!!!!
Love hearing that Dawn! Thanks for coming back to leave a rating and review, we really appreciate it 🙂
This was a big hit at our house. In fact, my husband who doesn’t like carrots or sweet potatoes actually LOVED it. I didn’t have ground pork so I had to use ground beef and tender the fat out of the beef. Next time I’ll definitely use pork because I think I would love it even more with the pork, like the recipe says.
Thanks Jessica, this one is definitely sneaky good! Glad your husband loved it and we appreciate you coming back to leave a rating and review 🙂
Delicious! Will absolutely be making this again. I used Kalua Pork (Nom Nom Paleo or a crockpot cooked pulled pork shoulder) instead of ground pork. Will try a vegetarian version as well using broccoli or snow peas & water chestnuts instead of pork. Simple to prepare and refreshingly distinctive.
Sounds delicious Stacey! Love the idea of pulled pork in there…
I tried using olive oil instead of the avocado, because hats all I had. My vegetables NEVER got crispy but OH MY, the flavor is so wonderful, I’m not sure I even care. This is my favorite recipe I’ve made in I don’t know how long.
That’s so great to hear! You can try turning the oven to broil at the end next time to try and crisp up the noodles. Just be careful to watch them closely to prevent burning.
I just made this for the first time and I am literally standing here eating it directly from the pan, it is so good. It’s satisfying, which is hard to pull off with a Whole30 recipe! Trader Joe’s makes this recipe SO easy. they have spiralized sweet potatoes and carrots in the produce section. I used their pre-diced onions instead of spiralizing it and it turned out fine. Thank you thank you thank you!
I love everything about this!! So happy you love this recipe and that Trader Joe’s had everything to make it easy! Perfection! Thanks so much for coming back to share! 🙂
Simple, easy, and surprisingly flavourful! It has been added to our regular meal rotation. Only thing is I can never get the veggies to crisp up. They taste fine but always a bit soggy. Tried 1 hour at 400 and 40 minutes at 425 but same results. Next time I might try two pans, but then we get into more dishes. I find only one sweet potato makes plenty for four meals so I’m actually using less veggies than called for.
So glad you like the recipe and flavor! For the veggies, I suspect that you need to get them spread out more so everything is in a single layer. We have a HUGE sheet pan that we use for this recipe. Also, stir the veggies occasionally to even out the cooking. Lastly, you could try broiling for a few minutes at the end to get things to crisp up, just be careful to watch it closely and remove before burning.
This is one of our new favorites. We have it almost weekly. The only change I make is I spiralize a zucchini along with everything else, I just felt like it needed more green, but I keep the cook times the same. I’ve also given this recipe to several people at work because every time I beat up my leftovers, all I hear is “that smells amazing!”
Hooray! So glad it’s a hit! That extra zucchini sounds great! We serve ours over a bed of greens sometimes to get a little extra green in there. We’ll have to try adding zucchini next time we make it! Thanks so much for giving our recipe a try and sharing us with your co-workers! We appreciate it! 🙂
Now I know why your website is named Real Simple Good, because that’s exactly what this recipe is! Everyone loved it and it will be on repeat, that’s for sure.
So great to hear that everyone loved the recipe! Thanks for coming back and leaving a comment. 🙂
Have you ever tried this with zucchini noodles? This recipe looks amazing but I don’t have sweet potatoes on hand haha
We haven’t tried it with zucchini noodles. If you use them, you’ll have to reduce the cooking time as they will cook quicker than sweet potato noodles. Just check them often and stir to prevent burning, removing when the noodles are cooked. Please come back and let us know how it goes!
Absolutely delicious!! Will definitely include in our meal rotation. Spiralized, oven roasted veggies are the best!
So glad you enjoyed this one! Thanks so much for trying our recipe and taking the time to come back and leave a comment! Hope to see you again soon! 🙂
I hope this is not a horribly silly question… do you brown the ground pork before?
No, you don’t need to brown the pork. Just crumble it and put it over the veggies and it will cook in the oven.
Oh my gosh, that was so freaking good! I ate 1/2 the pan myself. I don’t own a spiralizer, so I went with what New Seasons spiralizes…they had sweet potatoes, zucchini, and (shredded) carrots. The carrots were a little mushy, but the flavors were SO good. This is a keeper!
Yesss!! Glad you loved it! And so smart to get the already spiralized veggies! Good call! 😉
While mine didn’t look nearly as pretty as yours, it was fabulous! there was nothing left to photograph. I had to cook it for just over 45 minutes, the veggies didn’t want to crisp up. Next time I make this I’ll make sure to use FAT/large carrots and sweet potatoes. Thanks for adding a delish new meal to our rotation!!
Yay! So glad you guys enjoyed it! And yes…it really does help the spiralizing to have extra fat carrots and sweet potatoes. Thanks so much for trying our recipe and taking the time to come back and share! 🙂
