Ingredients

• 1 medium Spaghetti squash
• 1 cup Egg substitute
• 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup Granulated monkfruit sweetener (or preferred sweetener)
• 0.25 cup Raisins (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Bake the spaghetti squash for 35-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily scraped into strands. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Using a fork, scrape the flesh of the spaghetti squash into long strands. Measure out 4 cups of the squash strands and set aside. If there is extra squash, save it for another recipe.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg substitute, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, granulated monkfruit sweetener, and salt until well combined.

Step 6

Fold the 4 cups of spaghetti squash strands into the egg mixture until evenly coated. If using raisins, fold them in as well.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the kugel is set and slightly golden on top.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with a light sprinkle of cinnamon before serving for added flavor.
