How To Cook Spaghetti Squash In The Pressure Cooker

 Looking for a quick and easy way to cook spaghetti squash? Using a pressure cooker is the easiest way to cook any hard squash like spaghetti squash. The best part is that no peeling is required.

Spaghetti squash is a delicious low-carb substitute for pasta and many people like to serve it with tomato sauce. Cooking this hard winter squash has never been easier when you use a pressure cooker. You simply place the whole squash and 2 cups of water into the Instant Pot. The best part is you don't need to cut into the hard squash before cooking.

So grab your pressure cooker and save your fingers from being injured. In no time at all, you will have perfectly cooked spaghetti squash, that will be ready to use in all of your favorite low-carb recipes.

Spaghetti squash is a healthy alternative to pasta

 Using spaghetti squash as a pasta replacement is one of the best low-carb diet secrets. When cooked correctly and cut correctly, the spaghetti squash strands really give you the feel of eating a plate of pasta with sauce. 

I like to eat my spaghetti squash with a Thai Peanut Sauce. This delicious peanut butter sauce is so easy to make. Get the recipe here.

 Why cooking spaghetti squash in a pressure cooker is better than an oven

Most people dislike cooking spaghetti squash as it requires one to cut the squash in half before cooking. Most winter squashes, like spaghetti squash, are hard vegetables. Cutting the squash in half requires a sharp knife and lots of skill. Squash is typically round and it moves around, so fingers tend to get injured. The squash skin is so tough, that one needs a saw to cut it in half. 

Other reasons why cooking squash in the oven is a bad idea.

~ Then there is the slimy uncooked squash! It can be quite messy to remove all the squash seeds. 

~ Don't get me started on the long cooking time of baking spaghetti squash in the oven and how it heats up the house.

FAQ About Cooking Spaghetti Squash in The Pressure Cooker

~ Do I have to poke holes in the squash?

Nope! All you have to do is wash the squash and peel off any stickers. No need to cut the squash in half either. Just place the whole squash in the pressure cooker.

~ I have an Instant Pot or a Ninja Foodi, is this the same as a pressure cooker?

A pressure cooker is the same as an Instant Pot or a Ninja Foodi, so these will work for the recipe.

~ What size squash works best?

As long as it fits in the pot and you can close the lid, any size will work. I have cooked 2 small squashes at the same time in my pressure cooker. 

~ How many cups of spaghetti squash will I get?

A medium squash usually yields 2-4 cups of cooked spaghetti squash.

~ How long do I set the timer for?

Cook the squash for ten minutes.

~ Natural release or quick release for the pressure?

After the cooking time has ended, let the pressure naturally release.

~ Can I cut the squash in half and remove the seeds before cooking?

You can but why go through that trouble. The spaghetti squash cooks perfectly when left whole and the seeds are so easy to remove after it cooks.

~ Is Spaghetti Squash Keto?

Yes. 1 cup of spaghetti squash is about 10 grams of carbs and contains 1.5 grams of fiber.

~ Do I need to use a wire rack?

A wire rack is preferred but it will cook fine without it. You may just have more liquid to drain once you slice open the squash. I like to place the squash strands in a strainer after I scoop it from the skin.

No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Hemp Seed Protein Bars

 These no-bake hemp seed protein bars are amazing! Loaded with wholesome ingredients and plenty of protein with plenty of chocolate flavor. They are the perfect after-the-gym snack.

 After I work out, I always recover with plenty of protein. Protein helps your muscles recover after a workout and it is essential for building muscle. While most days, I consume a protein shake after the gym, as it is a quick and easy way to get my protein, there are days that I want to have a protein snack with some chewing. I like to have options for my high-protein meal.

 I have been training for a 5k race, so I have put more time into my workout sessions. So lately, I have been starving when I get home from my morning workouts and my protein shakes are not satisfying my hunger. So I have been grabbing cookies from the pantry to eat with my protein shake. So I thought to myself, why not just make some grab-and-go protein bars to eat for breakfast. 

Making healthy high protein bars 

 Since I wanted a substitute for my protein shake, I needed to create a protein bar with 20 grams of protein. So I took Easy No Bake Dairy Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola Bar recipe and made some ingredient changes to make it a high-protein granola bar. One of the ingredient changes that I made was adding protein powder, as this is one of the best ways to increase protein in a recipe. I usually use Nuzest plant-based protein in my protein recipes but I wanted to try a new protein powder.

 I recently discovered hemp seeds and I am loving all the nutritional benefits from eating hemp seeds. So I grabbed the bag of Hemp Protein Powder from my pantry, so I could start my baking. I also grabbed many other wholesome ingredients for my high-protein granola bar recipe.

Ingredients Needed

~ Evo Hemp Protein Powder

~ Oatmeal

~ Hemp Hearts 

~ Flaxseed Meal or Chia Seeds

~ Sunflower Seeds or Pumpkin Seeds

~ Maple Syrup

~ Applesauce

~ Peanut Butter

~ Coconut Oil

~ Hemp Chocolate Chunks

~ Vanilla

What is Hemp Seed?

 Most people hear the name hemp and immediately think of the marijuana plant. They also start thinking that hemp has THC and eating it will get you high. I am here to inform you that while hemp does come from the marijuana plant, it contains no THC, so you will not get high from eating any hemp products. 

 Hemp seed comes from the hemp plant. Hemp and marijuana are the same plant. The major difference is that hemp is a mixture of male and female cannabis plants. Hemp seeds do not contain any THC — in fact, they don’t contain any of the cannabinoids you’ll find in the flowers, leaves, and stalk of the rest of the hemp plant. The hemp plant is primarily grown for CBD, stalk, hemp seeds, and other highly beneficial and nutritious properties.

Nutritional Benefits of Hemp Seeds

 Hemp seeds or hemp hearts (hulled hemp seeds) are grown for their delicious nutty taste and nutritional benefits. Hemp seeds are loaded with protein and they contain all nine essential amino acids. Hemp seeds also contain healthy fats such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, 10g of protein, vitamins E, B6, and B1, and minerals including phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc.  

 Many people consider the hemp seed a “superfood” because of its nutritional completeness! Think support for heart health, digestion, energy production, and so much more!

Hemp Seed is Delicious in Recipes

While many people like to sprinkle hemp seeds over things like oatmeal and yogurt, hemp seeds are awesome in recipes. These powerful superfood seeds add nutrition and protein to your favorite recipes. To get the maximum nutritional benefits of hemp seed, use these seeds in recipes that don't call for heating or baking, as that will lower the nutrition of the seeds. That is why I chose to make a no-bake hemp seed protein bar.

How Is Hemp Protein Powder Made?

Hemp protein powder is made by grinding pressed hemp seeds into a fine powder. This powder yields an earthy taste similar to nuts and is perfect for adding to smoothies and shakes to boost their nutritional value! Evo Hemp Protein contains 27 grams of protein per serving.

Easy-to-Make Protein Bars with Plenty of Protein

These delicious protein bars are super easy to make and they are loaded with plenty of protein. While the hemp protein powder and hemp hearts contain protein, I also added other ingredients that contain protein like peanut butter and seeds. These bars have 12 grams of protein per serving! The sunflower seeds give these bars a crunchy nutty taste. I also added some chocolate chunks to the granola bars as I love chocolate.

 The chocolate chunks are also made with hemp hearts. You will love that these hemp milk chocolate chunks are 100% plant-based and sugar-free. The hemp milk chocolate has a rich & silky smooth taste and it tastes great on its own or sprinkled on ice cream.

Canned or Dried Chickpeas ~ which are best?

 You can use canned chickpeas or dried chickpeas. Chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans. If you want to save money and use dried chickpeas, make sure to cook them longer so they are soft. I like to cook chickpeas in the pressure cooker as it saves so much time. If you use a pressure cooker, add 6 more minutes to the cooking time.

If you use canned chickpeas, make sure to save the liquid from the can. The liquid from a can of chickpeas is called aquafaba and it can be used to make everything from vegan chocolate mousse to plant-based crab cakes.

Chickpea Nuggets are easy to make

 Making these vegan nuggets is super simple. The easiest way to make the plant-based nuggets is with a food processor. You simply put all the ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the chickpeas with the bottom of a glass.

 Once you have the mashed-up chickpeas along with the other ingredients, you then form it into a nugget shape. The mixture can be made into many different shapes of nuggets.

Then it is time to bake the vegan nuggets. I made mine in an air fryer but you can also bake them in the oven. To save time on cleaning my air fryer, I use disposable air fryer liners. 

How to enjoy the chickpea nuggets

These delicious nuggets are perfect to dip into your favorite sauces. Chickpea nuggets are the best finger food and taste awesome with so many sauces.

Wonderful Vegan Hard Boiled Deviled Eggs That Are Soy Free

 These vegan hard-boiled eggs taste just as good as the real thing without the cholesterol or the cruelty. They are so easy to make with a few simple ingredients. The best vegan eggs.

A year ago at Expo West, I was introduced to a plant-based hard-boiled egg and it was love at first bite. I have been craving these vegan eggs ever since and searching my local stores for plant-based eggs without any luck. I was so excited when I discovered a recipe for vegan hard-boiled eggs and I knew that I had to make them.

It was a discovery of Wunder Eggs that inspired me to make these vegan deviled eggs. Since my local grocery stores don't carry them, I had to make them. If you have a chance to buy Wunder Eggs, you need to try them as they are so good and taste like real hard-boiled eggs. For those meat eaters, who say "Why don't you eat the real thing?", I say to them ~ my body is healthier on a plant-based diet.

Even with my many food allergies, I find plenty to eat thanks to all the companies that make allergy-friendly food. This plant egg recipe is perfect for those with food allergies as it contains no dairy, soy, wheat, or nuts. 

It all started with a vegan deviled egg salad recipe

 My inspiration for creating these delicious vegan eggs all started with my discovery of a Vegan Deviled Egg Salad recipe on Instagram. I saw a recipe video and when I searched for recipes for vegan deviled egg spread, some of the recipe sites had instructions on how to make vegan egg whites. 

After I made the deviled egg salad, I knew that I had to make the white portion of the deviled eggs. The problem was I did not have all the ingredients that were needed to make the plant-based egg white recipe. 

 The recipe needed agar agar powder and an egg mold. So I ordered the silicone egg mold, the agar agar powder, and the special black salt that tastes like eggs on Amazon.

Chickpeas are a wonderful ingredient for vegan copycat recipes

 I think chickpeas are one of my favorite plant-based recipe ingredients for vegan copycat recipes. My favorite recipe that uses chickpeas is vegan tuna. These somewhat nutty-tasting beans can be used in so many different ways to create delicious meatless recipes. Chickpeas are also very adaptable to many different types of textures. They can give a recipe texture or they can be cooked longer to become a creamy protein addition for recipes.

 For this recipe, canned chickpeas will give the creamy texture. If you decide to use dried chickpeas, I recommend cooking them a bit longer so they have a softer texture. The softer texture will give this recipe the creamy taste that you want. Cooking chickpeas in the pressure cooker is super easy. Head here to learn how to cook chickpeas in the pressure cooker.
