Using garlic, olive oil, and vegan butter, it's one of the easiest most delicious ways to enjoy this vegetable. A lot of the time across social media you see people filling and overflowing these beautiful boats with cheese, meats, and other things essentially making what was once healthy into something that’s well not so healthy. Don’t get me wrong, I love filling my spaghetti squashes up like the rest of them, granted with better ingredients and vegan at that but my true favorite way is very simple: garlic, vegan butter, extra virgin olive oil, and some seasonings. That’s it. It’s light, it’s flavorful, and you feel like you’re eating pasta in garlic and butter sauce, no joke. And since I’m pregnant one of my cravings has been pasta in butter and oil with a ton of garlic. This has been my go-to recipe.

Ingredients

2 tbsp. vegan butter
salt/pepper to taste
1 1/2 tbsp. parsley
1 1/2 tbsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 tbsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 spaghetti squash

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350° and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut squash length wise and remove the seeds. (See notes for alternative ways to open)
02

Using a fork, poke holes on the outside rind or skin. Pour oil over both sides of the squash and rub it in with your hands.
03

Season with all the above ingredients (add more or less to your liking). Bake for 45-50 minutes. Once done remove from oven and when easy enough to touch, shred the insides with a fork.
04

Add butter on top of cooked spaghetti squash and sprinkle with a little more parsley if desired, serve and enjoy!
05

If you're not comfortable cutting the spaghetti squash open while raw, you can cook it fully on 350° for 45-50 minutes then once it's cooked you can cut it open, remove the seeds and season as desired.
06

Please, not the spaghetti squash will be hot so wait until you can touch it to start cutting it open.
