Autumn Glow Plant Based Spaghetti Squash Pasta

Ingredients

  • 1 Organic Spaghetti Squash (small – medium)
  • Avocado Oil Spray
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Pepper
  • Vegan Feta Cheese

Instructions

Makes 2 servings

Turn on the bbq to medium heat (350-375°F). Cut the organic spaghetti squash in half. Be sure to use a sharp knife and be careful as the spaghetti squash may be difficult to cut. Scoop out the seeds and lightly spray with the avocado oil. Sprinkle each half with the salt and pepper. Place the spaghetti squash (shell side down) directly onto the bbq grill. Cook for 30-35 minutes. Turn over the spaghetti squash and place them flesh side down for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the bbq and let cool. Using a fork, scrap the insides until it is the consistency of spaghetti. Add to a bowl or enjoy directly inside the shell. You can enjoy them either hot or cold depending on your preference. Top with vegan feta and pepper to taste.

Benefits:

Spaghetti squash is high in pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) which is said to help turn the food you eat into energy. In addition it is also a good source of fiber, vitamin C, manganese and vitamin B6. Vitamin C has been said to help your skin and your immune system.

Vegan Healthy Glow Cauliflower Steak

Ingredients

  • 1 Head Organic Cauliflower
  • 1 tbs Avocado Oil
  • 2 tbs Organic Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tbs Spicy Herbed Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tbs Organic Pepper
  • 1/2 tbs Organic Thyme

Instructions

Makes 2 servings

Turn on the BBQ and lightly spray the grills with the avocado oil spray. Remove all leaves from the organic cauliflower head. Evenly cut the bottom of the cauliflower to create a flat base, this will make cutting the steak slices easier. Cut the cauliflower into 2 even, thick slices, these will be used as the steaks. I personally like to start by cutting the cauliflower in half. The left over cauliflower can be cut into florets and used as a snack. In a small bowl add the avocado oil, lemon juice, sea salt, pepper and thyme, stirring until it is mixed well. Coat each side of the cauliflower steaks with the mixture. Reduce the BBQ heat to medium and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the bottom is slightly charred. Remove from BBQ, let cool and enjoy!

Benefits:

Cauliflower is high in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and K. Vitamin K is said to play an essential role in maintaining healthy body function.
