Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Spaghetti Squash
• 12 ounce Extra firm tofu
• 3 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 stalk Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the halves on a baking sheet, cut side down, and roast for 30 minutes.
2. While the squash is roasting, prepare the maple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.
3. Cut the tofu into cubes and pat dry with a paper towel. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the tofu cubes. Cook for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
4. Pour the maple glaze over the tofu and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the glaze thickens.
5. Remove the spaghetti squash from the oven and use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
6. Divide the spaghetti squash onto plates and top with the maple-glazed tofu. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
7. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
