Baked Spaghetti Squash makes the perfect side dish on its own! This easy veggie is much lower in carbs than pasta (of course) and has a light flavor with a shape that mimics spaghetti strands. This veggie isn’t exactly like eating a bowl of your favorite egg noodles, but it’s a pretty tasty substitute!

Ingredients

salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp. butter or olive oil
1 spaghetti squash approximately 2lbs

Method

01

Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and stringy bits and discard (or save the seeds for roasting).
02

Drizzle the cut side with oil or spread with butter. Season with salt and pepper.
03

Place cut side down and bake 40 minutes or just until tender. Cool 5 minutes. Flip spaghetti squash over and gently runs a fork down the squash to separate into strands.
04

Season with additional butter, salt and pepper if desired.
