Plant-Based Broccoli Parmesan Spaghetti Squash combines spaghetti squash with roasted broccoli and mushrooms. Topped with a salty, cheesy vegan parmesan!
Normally I start my posts with a little anecdote about the food. Or a story about how the recipe came together. Sometimes I rant about something or talk about how to eat healthier.
NOT TODAY.
Today we're diving straight into this dish because I am dying to tell you about this vegan parmesan.
Guys, this parmesan is legit! It is cheesy and salty and slightly crunchy, but not too much because it's supposed to be like cheese.
I seriously want to sprinkle this stuff on everything I eat from now on. It has all the flavor and texture you could want.
I may or may be eating this by the spoonful. It's THAT good.
And it's so incredible because it's completely plant-based. It's actually good for you.
It's simple to make too. Just throw the ingredients in the food processor and pulse for a few minutes until everything is broken up and incorporated. Then sprinkle it on EVERYTHING.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. I am in love with this parm, but I don't want it to completely overshadow the dish I'm serving it on. Because the spaghetti squash deserves some attention too.
As per usual, this recipe is nothing complicated. There's actually only a few ingredients: spaghetti squash, broccoli, mushrooms, and vegan parmesan.
Start by cutting the ends off of your spaghetti squash. Then cut it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and lay it face down on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 for 40 minutes.

After you get the spaghetti squash in the oven, prep the broccoli and mushrooms. Chop up a head of broccoli and slice your mushrooms (if you don't buy them pre-sliced). Place them on another foil-lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle some water or veggie broth over the veggies so they don't stick. Then bake them with the spaghetti squash for 15 minutes.
While all the vegetables are in the oven, make the vegan parmesan.
This vegan parm is SO simple and SO delicious. All you need is a few ingredients and a food processor. In 5 minutes you'll have a jar full of deliciousness!
To make the parm, add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse until the cashews are broken up into tiny chunks. It will resemble actual parmesan.
When the spaghetti squash, broccoli, and mushrooms are cooked, you're ready to assemble the dish.
Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti squash out of the shell. Then mix the broccoli and mushrooms in with the squash.
Sprinkle with ALL the vegan parmesan that you heart desires (hopefully a lot!). And enjoy!
Thank you God for delicious flavors and healthy meals. Amen.
