Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai

Step 1

Cook spaghetti squash in rings using instructions from my spaghetti squash post.

Step 2

Allow squash rings to cool for about 15 minutes, then peel the skin away and use a fork to separate the strands.

Step 3

While squash is roasting, make the chili almond sauce by adding all ingredients into a blender or food processor. Process until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Chop raw chicken breasts into 1-inch chunks. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with 1 Tablespoon oil. Add chicken to the skillet and liberally season with sea salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often until all sides are golden and chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 5

Add remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the same skillet and sauté together ginger, onion, bell pepper and carrots. Cook until the veggies are starting to soften, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Add chicken back to the skillet with the veggies. Then add the chili almond sauce and mix everything together thoroughly.

Step 7

Add spaghetti squash to the skillet and mix again. If your skillet isn’t large enough, you can put everything in a large bowl to mix instead.

Step 8

Serve the spaghetti squash pad Thai immediately with green onions, fresh cilantro and lime wedges for garnish. Top with chopped almonds.
