Spaghetti Squash With Chiles, Lime, And Cilantro
- 3 pounds spaghetti squash (about 1 squash)
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1 hot chile, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or olive oil
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro, plus more to taste
- Preheat the oven to 375u0b0 F. Place squash in a buttered baking dish or sheet pan. Use a sharp knife to puncture the skin in several places-this will prevent it from exploding in the oven. Roast for 60 to 75 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool briefly.
- Meanwhile, place the onion and chile in a small bowl and cover with 2 tablespoons of the lime or lemon juice. Season with a pinch of kosher salt.
- When squash has cooled slightly, cut it in half. Scoop out the seeds and reserve for another use. Drag a fork across the flesh of the squash, pulling up the strands. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. You should have about 3 cups. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Pour the macerated onion and chiles over top. Pour over 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil and all of the cilantro. Toss and taste. Add more salt, if necessary, and another tablespoon of lime or lemon or coconut oil to taste.
