Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily shreds into spaghetti-like strands with a fork. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- While the squash is roasting, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced red bell pepper and julienned carrot to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Using a fork, scrape the flesh of the roasted spaghetti squash to create strands. Add the spaghetti squash, bean sprouts, and half of the chopped green onions to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon sriracha. Pour the sauce over the spaghetti squash mixture and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Divide the spaghetti squash Pad Thai among serving plates. Top with the remaining chopped green onions, chopped peanuts, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish. Enjoy!
