Vegetarian Thai Peanut Red Curry Spaghetti Squash Recipes

PAD THAI SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE BY TASTY

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!

VEGETARIAN THAI PEANUT RED CURRY SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Carefully cut your spaghetti squash in half with a large, sharp knife. Remove seeds and stringy guts, and brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season generously with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place spaghetti squash, cut side down, on an aluminum-lined baking sheet and roast until tender, about 45-60 minutes.
• To test if your squash is done, scrap the flesh with a fork. If the strands come off easily, it's done. Let the cooked spaghetti squash cool for about 5 minutes, then scrape all the flesh into a beautiful pile of spaghetti strands. Taste and season with some more Kosher salt and pepper if needed.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook pineapple, carrots, red bell pepper, and shallots for about 3-4 minutes, until softened but still with some crunch. Season with Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Add spinach and desired amount of Thai Peanut Red Curry Sauce and cook for 1 additional minute, or until spinach is wilted.
• Divide spaghetti squash among 4 bowls. Top with vegetable curry and garnish with scallions and chopped peanuts.
