Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook until slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in sazon seasoning. Reduce heat to low and and simmer until flavors combine, about 3 minutes.

Slice sweet potato into noodles using the thin julienne blade on a mandoline.
Fill a pot with water; add 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil. Add sweet potato noodles and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from water and drain.
