It's rare that we encounter spaghetti squash not shredded into its eponymous noodle-like threads. But kept intact, it reveals a beautifully yielding texture and a savory, subtle flavor that's perfectly offset by a rich walnut-miso glaze.
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
- 1⁄4 tsp. crushed red chile flakes
- Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions
Step 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.
Step 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.
