Caramelized Onion & Mushroom Spaghetti Squash


  • PREP TIME10 minsCOOK TIME25 minsTOTAL TIME35 mins Serves: 2 INGREDIENTS
  • 1 2-3 lb. spaghetti squash- ¼ cup olive oil- 2 tbsp clarified butter/ ghee- 2 yellow onions, peeled and sliced into longer strips if possible- 1½ cup mushrooms- 1 cup kale- ¼ tsp rosemary (I used fresh, but dried would work too)- Salt and pepper to taste- Optional: parmesan cheese* INSTRUCTIONS
  • Preheat oven to 350°.- Slice squash in half, remove seeds and place on baking sheet.- Brush 2 tbsp olive oil on both sides of the squash (1 tbsp per half) and then place face down in the oven.- While squash is roasting, melt butter and last 2 tbsp oil over medium-high in a large skillet.- Add onions to skillet, stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes, add mushrooms.- After approximately 10 minutes, the onions should start to caramelize. If they look like they’re burning at all, add an extra tablespoon of oil.- Add kale to skillet and continue to stir everything together until onions turn a nice golden brown color.- After 25 minutes, remove squash from oven and allow 10 or so minutes for it to cool off.- Once slightly cooler, use a fork to remove “spaghetti” from squash and place in a skillet; add rosemary, salt and pepper and stir everything together.- Add parmesan cheese if you wish and enjoy! NOTES*I didn’t use cheese, but feel free to add it–I’m sure it would be delicious!Recipe by  The Almond Eater
