Spaghetti Squash Stir Fry
Description
This stir fry begins by roasting a small spaghetti squash until tender, then separating its flesh into noodle-like strands. Fresh broccoli florets, thinly sliced red cabbage, and chopped carrots are sautéed in avocado oil until softened but crisp. The roasted squash is added back to the pan alongside fresh grated ginger, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and a red chili sauce to taste.
As the ingredients cook together, the ginger and chili infuse warmth and brightness, while the coconut aminos and vinegar contribute savory and tangy notes. The finished dish presents a harmonious mix of textures from the tender squash strands to the crisp vegetables, with a flavorful seasoning that is light yet distinct.
Served as a vegetable side or a vegetarian main, this recipe pairs well with a variety of entrees and offers a nutrient-rich alternative to traditional noodle stir fries using spaghetti squash.
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 spaghetti squash roasted, small
- 1 broccoli chopped into florets, large crown
- 1 cup red cabbage thinly sliced
- 2 carrot peeled and chopped, large
- 1 1/2 inch ginger peeled and grated, nub
- 3 Tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 to 3 tsp red chili sauce such as sriracha, to taste
- 1/4 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
Instructions
- Roast the spaghetti squash according to these instructions. Once the spaghetti squash has finished roasting, allow it to cool off. Once cool enough to handle, use a fork to release the spaghetti squash strands.
- Chop the broccoli, cabbage, and carrots. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet to medium heat. Add the broccoli, cabbage and carrots, cover, and cook until vegetables have softened but are still al dente, about 5 minutes.
- Add the spaghetti squash and the remaining ingredients. Continue cooking and stirring until ginger is fragrant, much of the liquid has evaporated, and vegetables reach desired done-ness, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve alongside your favorite entree.
