Cut the ends off the spaghetti squash and then cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds.

Brush the inside of the squash with olive oil (or coconut oil, etc.) and sprinkle with sea salt.
Step 4
Flip the squash so the flat side is facing the lined pan and pop it in the oven for 30 minutes.

While the squash is sitting, combine the kale leaves, walnuts, garlic, basil, and olive oil in a food processor. Process for 10-30 seconds, until chopped and combined. Scrape down the sides and process again for about 10 seconds.

Use a fork to loosen up the strands of the spaghetti squash.
