Slow Cooker Barbecue Spaghetti Squash




Slow Cooker Barbecue Spaghetti Squash 

Perfect for sandwiches

Ingredients 

1/2                                                                         Spaghetti squash
3/4 cup                                                                 Diced tomatoes or 1/2 cup of tomatoe sauce
1                                                                            Chipotle in Adobe or 1 teaspoon hot sauce                                                                                         and 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
3 tablespoons                                                     Almond flour or any nut flour
1                                                                            Bay leaf 
1                                                                            Scallion or a bunch of chive
1 tablespoon                                                      Fresh parsley or cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste.

Directions 

Cut and scrape the seeds from the squash, wash, dry, cut off a little slice at the bottom for stability and put in a slow cooker.  Fill the cavity with the 3/4 cup of diced tomatoes, 1 diced chipotle,  3 tablespoons almond flour, 1 bay leaf, salt and pepper.  Cook on high for about  2 hours or until desired donness.

Remove the bay leaf.  Add the scallion and parsley and separate the flesh from the skin.  Adjust seasoning if necessary.

It is so good in a toasted sandwich between 2 slices of swiss cheese, better than pulled pork in my opinion.

Up date:


You can double the recipe if you can fit the 2 halves in your slow cooker.  I had to force them to fit.  I think it is the recipe I am most proud of.  We are not vegan but this is a very flavorful and satisfying plant base meal.

I was looking for a vegetarian substitute for pulled pork.  I tried jack fruit and didn't like how sweet and not satisfying it is.  I thought spaghetti squash is stringy so I tried and my husband and I love it better than the meat.

Eat veggies, be healthy and bon appétit! 


Today's sandwich that I had with sweet potatoe fries.  I could live on that.
