Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut 1 medium spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle each half with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sea salt. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes until tender.
2. Step 2: While the squash roasts, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 lb ground pork and cook, breaking up with a spatula, for 5-7 minutes until browned.
3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the pork. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if using. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.
5. Step 5: Use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti squash strands from the roasted halves into the skillet with the pork. Toss everything together and cook for 2 more minutes until heated through.
6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 3 sliced green onions before serving.
