By blum099

Ingredients

• 1 small spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
• 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1/4 cup white miso paste
• 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 3 tbsp. mirin
• 2 scallions, minced, plus more for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350°. Brush insides of squash with oil, place cut-side-down on baking sheet and bake until almost tender, about 50 minutes. Let cool slightly and remove skin. Cut into 2" x 4" squares, return to baking sheet; set aside.

2. Heat oven broiler. Pulse walnuts in food processor until finely ground. Add miso paste, brown sugar, mirin, minced scallions, chile flakes, and salt, and pulse into a thick paste. Spread over squash and broil until tops are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Serve sprinkled with additional salt, and sliced scallions.
