1 spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup diced cucumbers
1 cup sliced carrot
1 cup diced bell pepper
½ cup chopped green onions
½ cup diced onion
½ cup roasted peanut
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ cup warm water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
  • With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. If the squash is too tough, puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half.
  • Scoop out the seeds, brush with oil, and sprinkle with salt, and pepper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the skin.
  • Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce: combine the water, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, lime juice, Sriracha, peanut butter, ginger, and garlic in a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, stirring to combine.
  • Remove the squash from the oven and, with a fork, pull at the edges to produce that stringy "spaghetti" quality.
  • In a large bowl combine the "spaghetti" with the cucumber, carrots, bell pepper, green onion, onions, peanuts, cilantro, and the sauce. Add mixture back to the hollowed out spaghetti squash halves.
  • Enjoy!

1 small spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
1 ½ cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (12 ounce) package broccoli coleslaw mix
1 zucchini, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ cup sliced green onions
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 cubed cooked chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash. Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep yellow color. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Cook the spaghetti squash thoroughly. The squash should be tender when pierced with a fork. If it is not cooked through, it will be difficult to shred.
  • Shred the spaghetti squash with a fork. This is the easiest way to get long, thin strands of squash. You can also use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to create spaghetti-like strands.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the sauce. This will give you plenty of room to stir the sauce and prevent it from sticking.
  • Add the spaghetti squash to the sauce at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent the squash from becoming overcooked and mushy.
  • Serve the spaghetti squash immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Sesame peanut spaghetti squash is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The spaghetti squash is a good source of fiber and nutrients, and the sauce is packed with flavor. This dish is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
