  • Place your matchstick squashi in a colander and set it in the sink or over a larger bowl. Toss with 1 tsp salt. Let it stand 10 minutes. Squeeze well to remove as much excess moisture as possible. Do not rince.

  • All Ways - Heat oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and spices until fragrant, just a minute or two.
  • Add squash (and carrots for Way 3) and cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp tender, about 2-5 minutes. Don't let it go limp.
  • Move to a serving bowl.
  • Finish Way 1 - fold in parmesan and almonds.
  • Finish Way 2 - cover with lime juice and pepitas.
  • Finish Way 3 - Whisk together miso and vinegar. Sprinkle over squash.
  • Finish Way 4 - Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

  1. Just finished eating this tonight. Very very good and very very easy. We don't have a mandolin so the matchsticks took a little longer but totally worth it!! Followed the recipe with the parmesan and toasted almonds. Definitely will make this again!!
