Ingredients
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp basil
  • Himalayan pink sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 box of button mushrooms, sliced in half
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Cashew sauce:
  • ½ cup cashews, soaked overnight, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 plant-based veggie burger of your choice
Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยบ. Cut squash in half, remove the seeds and coat each inside with your olive oil, garlic, basil, salt and pepper.
  2. Place on baking sheet with inside facing up and pop into the oven for 1 hour.
  3. At the same time, place your diced mushrooms on a separate baking sheet with 1 tbsp of olive oil to roast. Roast for 20-30 minutes.
  4. While mushrooms and squash are cooking, blend together your soaked/rinsed cashews, vegetable broth and nutritional yeast in a food processor for about two minutes. Make sure it is extra creamy! Add a tablespoon of water gradually if it is not thin enough to your liking.
  5. Take your squash and mushrooms out of the oven when done. Use a fork to scrape the insides of the squash to form spaghetti-like noodles.
  6. Place squash shreds into a bowl, top with sauce followed by mushrooms and your veggie burger (I heat mine in the oven for about 10 minutes before eating) and enjoy!
