Thai Tempeh and Butternut Squash Noodle Bowl<\/h2>\n

Squash is such a beautiful vegetable, and there are so many ways to integrate it into your meals. Typically I cut my butternut squash in half lengthwise and bake it in a casserole pan seed side down with about an inch of water. At 350 degrees and for about 45-minutes, the butternut squash comes out tender and sweet. I prepare this often during squash season, which in Colorado is almost all year long.<\/p>\n

Y-Peelers Rock<\/h2>\n

After years of enjoying baked butternut squash, I decided it was time to up my squash game, and I bought a <\/span>Y-Peeler<\/span> to help peel the skin off easily.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>After using the Y-peeler, I cut it into cubes and roast it in the oven with some coconut oil at higher heat with a variety of seasonings. I love garlic powder, onion powder, Italian Seasonings, and red pepper flakes on butternut squash.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a flavorful and fun way to enjoy butternut squash, I recommend roasting it, but let’s take it to the next level.<\/p>\n

Time to Spiralize<\/h2>\n

Recently, a Vegetable Spiralizer found its way into my humble and loving kitchen, and my creations began to spiral (pun intended). It is an excellent upgrade from the handheld Veggetti Spiralizer.<\/p>\n

This Thai Tempeh and Butternut Squash Noodle Bowl was my first time using the larger spiralizer, and let me tell you – it is worth it!\u00a0It’s super easy to use, <\/a>and within seconds you have a large bowl of healthy veggie noodles.<\/p>\n

Check out the recipe and let me know what you think. It’s plant-based, gluten-free, and dairy-free. Oh yay! Enjoy!<\/strong><\/p>\n
