Coconut Curry Spaghetti Squash
Ingredients
- 1 Spaghetti Squash (@3lbs or 1365g)
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) butter
- 3 large cloves garlic , minced (or to taste)
- 1 small onion , diced
- 14 ounces (397 g) coconut milk (one can)
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) curry powder , or to taste
- 1/2 tablespoon (7.5 ml) paprika
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce or fish sauce, or to taste
- fresh cracked black pepper , to taste
- 1-2 Tablespoons (15 ml) hot sauce (optional), or to taste
- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) minced fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 375°F. Oil a sheet pan with olive oil.
- Carefully cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and connecting strands, then place cut side down on the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the squash flesh becomes tender and separates easily into strands with a fork. Finish by gently loosening and removing the "spaghetti strands" from the shells. Set aside.
- Heat large pan on medium-high heat. Melt butter, then add garlic and onion. Cook until fragrant and translucent. Add coconut milk, curry powder, paprika, soy/fish sauce, black pepper and hot sauce (optional). Bring to a low simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Add spaghetti squash strands and toss into the sauce. Cook for about 1 minute or until the spaghetti squash is warmed. Don't overcook the spaghetti squash strands, especially if they’re already too soft or else they'll become mush.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add fresh cilantro and additional salt and pepper, if needed, to taste. Serve warm.

We’ve been making this every week since we discovered this recipe! I can’t get tired of it. It’s so delicious!
Beth says
This was so good! I used avocado oil instead of butter to keep it vegan and it worked great. I also made the squash in the microwave to not heat up the house: slice in half, remove seeds, cover with plastic wrap cut side down in a glass dish, 7-8 min on high for each half.
