Spaghetti Squash Thai Noodle Bowl

Cook Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 20 minutes
Course Main Course
Cuisine Asian
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small spaghetti squash (About 4-5 lbs.)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups broccoli steamed
  • 1/2 batch prepared skinny Thai peanut dressing *recipe in notes below
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Optional / suggested toppings

  • Chopped Peanuts
  • Sriracha

Instructions
 

  • Pierce your spaghetti squash all over with a fork (similarly to how you would with a potato before baking.)
  • Place the squash and 2 c. of water into a slow cooker. Secure the lid and cook for 8-9 hours on low. The squash will turn brownish and kind of dingy while cooking, but don't let that scare you. The insides are perfectly perfect!
  • Once done, remove the squash from the crock pot and set aside to cool for 20-30 minutes. Discard the water. This would be a good time to prepare your dressing or broccoli!
  • After the squash has cooled, cut it in half and scoop out the seeds and pulp. It should all come out pretty easily. Mine even separated from the meat of the squash on it's own. Discard or use for something else if you want.
  • With the pulp removed, use a fork to shred the insides into spaghetti like noodles. Feel free to get all the way down to the flesh of the squash.
  • Place the 'noodles' into a bowl and top each with 1 c. of broccoli, 3 tbsp. dressing, 1/2 tbsp. sesame seeds, and peanuts if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Skinny Thai Peanut Dressing (I used Lime Juice instead of 1/2 of the Vinegar for mine.)
