Ingredients:


For the spaghetti squash:

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • Olive oil
  • 1 large head of broccoli
  • 5 bok choy leaves, chopped
  • 1 cup of edamame beans

For the sauce:

  • 1 cup of coconut milk
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup of peanut butter
  • 1/2 tbsp. of ginger
  • 1 tbsp. of raw coconut aminos
  • 1/2 tbsp. of balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp. of honey
  • 1/2 tsp. of black pepper

To garnish:

  • 1/4 cup of green onions
  • 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts

Directions:


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Cut spaghetti squash in half, remove the seeds, drizzle with a little olive oil, and place on baking sheet covered with aluminum cut side down. Optional: you can also cook the squash first and then cut in half and remove seeds.
  3. Cook squash until tender. Depending on the size, it takes about an hour to cook. Leave for longer if when you scrape with a fork, the strands don't come out easily.
  4. In a medium pan, steam the edamame beans and broccoli with a little bit of water in medium heat and set aside.
  5. In a medium pan, stir-fry with very little olive oil the bok choy leaves and set aside.
  6. Let spaghetti squash cool for a few minutes and scrape with fork around the edges until you are able to separate the spaghetti squash from the peel and place it in a plate to serve (it should look a little like spaghetti).
  7. In a blender, mix the sauce ingredients until smooth and pour over spaghetti squash.
  8. Add the edamame beans, broccoli, bok choy, and top with peanuts and green onions.
