Spaghetti Squash Salad
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- extra-virgin olive oil
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup hazelnuts
- 30 ml hazelnut oil
- 30 ml pure maple syrup optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, cut side down, in a large baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the strands may be loosened easily with a fork and the sides are soft when squeezed.
- Put the hazelnuts in a medium skillet over low heat and toast until golden brown. Allow to cool. Place in a kitchen towel and rub to remove loose skins. Chop into large pieces.
- Let the squash stand until cool enough to handle. Using a fork, scrape the squash strands into a large bowl. Add the hazelnuts and hazelnut oil, drizzle with the maple syrup, if using, and toss to serve.
Serving Suggestion: I frequently use spaghetti squash in place of real spaghetti as an accompaniment to chicken, veal, or fish. It is terrific with tomato sauce.
