Cuisine Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 2 c spiralized butternut squash You can buy this premade at your local grocery store or spiralize it yourself
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter Can use regular butter as well
  • lemon juice
  • black pepper
  • garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Spray some olive oil in a pan and let simmer on medium heat. Take one tsp of vegan butter and let simmer as well.
  • Take about 4 slices of prosciutto and tear them into small pieces. You can get creative here - tear into whatever size you want. Add the torn pieces to the pan and cook until crispy.
  • When the prosciutto is crispy, remove it from the pan and add it to a separate plate. I like to put it on top of a paper towel to absorb any excess liquid.
  • Add about 2 tsp vegan butter to the same pan and let simmer. Move it around the pan. Once it has mostly melted, add in your butternut squash spirals.
  • Move the spirals around the pan and add lemon juice, black pepper, and garlic powder. I use a lot of garlic powder, but feel free to use as much or as little as you like.
  • When the garlic powder on the spirals begins to brown and the spirals begin to soften, add another light squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Add the prosciutto to the pan and mix together with the spirals. Crack more black pepper on top. Add to a plate or bowl and serve!
