Ingredients

½ butternut squash (spiralized)
1 clove garlic (minced finely)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ tablespoon coconut butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (optional)
½ teaspoon basil

Recipe Directions

1. Slice squash very fine (I used a zester to get it incredibly thin).

2. Mix squash with the rest of the ingredients.

3. Leave to marinate on the counter or use the dehydrator to warm thoroughly (about 20 minutes at 110 Fahrenheit).

Harmonylia's Thoughts

By harmonylia

I craved angel hair with olive oil and garlic, and this was what hit the spot.

It took a while to prepare the squash, but it was very much worth it to me.

The coconut oil actually added a bit of that fullness to the recipe because of it's melting point and distinctness. I have the flavored unprocessed kind too, so I would suggest trying it without, then try it with a little and decide for yourself. I personally cannot stomach raw extra virgin olive oil alone. I'm a freak like that! I'm so happy you get to try it. I would love to hear your suggestions when your done!

Oh yay my mom said wwe could go TODAY!!!!! I get to make this today!!

One question though: Does the coconut oil have a distinct flavor? Could I omit it, or is it a key ingredient? I have it, but I'm not sure if it has a strong coconut flvor.

I use my spiralizer it was cheap like 20$$ and was no cords, etc. It's basically like you put a piece of the squash in a bowl and turn a handle on the top and it turns into noodles. Does that make sense?

Here's the link:

It is so easy to make raw potato slices for raw potato chips, and one time I even madde angel hair hair potato noodles when I was trying to make potato chips. Came out great. lol

I have a Saladacco. It's a real time saver! It will also do spiral slices.

you could also use a julienne slicer. it does the slicing in rows, a lot more powerfully then a zester. i LOVE my julienne slicer... can you tell? =)

Thanks ardesmond2, it doesn't kill me to zest it, but when your short on patience (like today grrrr....) you wonder if it's better to spiralize. I really like the slender angel hair like texture of the recipe so I may just stick with it. Thanks for the tip!

harmonyila I know what you mean by the zesting but I find that I prefer this method over the spiralizer, the noodles seem to be more authentic with the zester or maybe it

s just me . .

THanks for the recipe

Hmmmm, I'm thinking it would work just fine, the squash has similar texture to a sweet potato, you would just have to cut it to fit. Kevin7197, can you recommend a good spiralizer, I am getting so tired of zesting my noodles lol.

Can I just use my spiralizer? Or is butternut squash an unsuitable candidate for this tool?

Hey artzyfartzy, let me know how it comes out for you, the slicing of the squash was so time consuming, I did it while reading, but it was worth it.
