Roasted Garden Vegetables With Spaghetti Squash Food

SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F. Line a large pan with parchment or with foil sprayed with oil.
• PREPARE SPAGHETTI SQUASH: Cut off 1/2 inch on one end. Stand up squash on flat end. Cut in half lengthwise. ALTERNATIVELY (my preferred choice), pierce 2-3 times with knife, microwave for 4 minutes, then cut in half lengthwise (squash will be MUCH easier to cut after microwaving). Scoop out seeds with a spoon. Rub with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place CUT SIDE DOWN at one edge of pan.
• PREPARE VEGETABLES: Toss sliced onions and cut vegetables with oil, salt and pepper. Spread out in one layer on pan beside squash. If you don't have a large enough pan, use one pan for squash and another for vegetables.
• ROAST SQUASH AND VEGETABLES for 30-40 minutes (depending on size of squash) until squash can be easily pierced with a fork and vegetables are beginning to caramelize. Stir veggies half way through roasting. Remove from oven and let squash cool for 10 minutes. If veggies need more time, return to oven for 5-10 minutes to ensure any liquid is absorbed. Using a fork, 'rake' squash to create "spaghetti' strands. Note 1 to microwave squash. Note 2 to grill vegetables.
• MAKE DRESSING (OPTIONAL): While veggies are roasting, make dressing if desired. Whisk together all ingredients. Note 3 for dressing options.
• ASSEMBLE AND SERVE: Transfer squash strands to plate or bowl. Top with roasted vegetables. Drizzle on dressing if using. Or drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley or other chopped fresh herbs.

• Scrub spaghetti squash well, halve vertically and remove seeds. Place cut side down in a microwavable dish, add 1/4 cup water, cover and cook on high 10 minutes, turning the dish several times if your microwave doesn't have a turntable. You may need to cook in batches.
• Drain well and keep warm until the vegetables are done.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH AND ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prepare your spaghetti squash. Wash it and then cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and then drizzle a bit of the olive oil onto the flesh of the squash. Place it cut side down on your baking tray and pierce the skin a few times with a fork.
• Place the remaining vegetables (except for the green onions) and the olives in a large bowl and toss with the rest of the olive oil and the salt and pepper. Mix well to coat.
• Divide the vegetables onto 2 baking trays (you can use only 1 baking tray if you have one large enough to hold all your vegetables without crowding them). Bake in the middle rack of your oven for 30 - 40 minutes.
• Once your spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape up the strands. We like to work from the outside working our way in. Transfer your spaghetti squash strands to a large bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Take the roasted garlic and either mash it with the back of a fork or chop it up if it is not soft enough to mash. Mix it in gently with the spaghetti squash.
• Top with the roasted vegetables and garnish with green onions if desired.
• Enjoy!

ROASTED SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH VEGETARIAN BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• Prepare the squash: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Split the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Use a large spoon to scrape out the seeds and discard. Place the spaghetti squash cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 3 to 4 turns of pepper. Turn the squash cut-side down (this will enable it to cook faster). Bake in the center of the oven until the squash flesh is fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then use a large spoon and fork to scrape out the fibers into a large bowl; toss gently to separate the strands so they resemble spaghetti.
• Meanwhile, make the Bolognese: Pulse the celery, carrot, onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the vegetables and sauté until translucent and dry, 7 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the tomato paste to the pot and cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the TVP and nutritional yeast and mix well to coat everything evenly. Add the tomatoes and stir, breaking them up into small pieces. Add the vegetable stock, oat milk, bay leaf, red pepper flakes, basil and oregano. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat; cover slightly with a lid and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. If the sauce still seems watery, uncover and simmer 3 to 5 more minutes.
• To assemble, place the spaghetti squash on a large platter and top with the vegetarian Bolognese. Garnish with the Crispy Kale Chips and sprinkle with the Parmesan.
• Wash kale and remove the stems. Tear the leaves into large pieces and dry completely in a salad spinner. Toss the kale with olive oil; season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 3 or 4 turns of pepper. Spread the leaves evenly on 2 rimmed baking sheets and roast in a 350˚ F oven until crispy, 12 to 14 minutes.
