Spaghetti Squash

How do I make spaghetti squash?

This is definitely a cold-nights type dinner and takes about an hour to make. While this squash is in the oven I like to prep the meat and sauce (making a Mock Spaghetti) and still have time to clean up the kitchen a bit—one of my Non-Scale Victories during my Whole30 (attempt) 2.0.

Let's get started!

Recipe

Ingredients

• Spaghetti Squash
• Avocado Oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Directions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 400F.
2. Carefully cut the spaghetti squash lengthwise, all the way through.
3. Using a spoon, scoop out the guts.
4. Lightly coat both insides with avocado oil, salt, and pepper (and basil if you're using it).
5. On a shallow baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, place cut side down.
6. Bake for 45minutes–1hour. 
7. Remove from oven and let it sit for a short while.
8. Used a fork to remove the spaghetti-like strands from the rind.
9. Add to your favorite dish or make kid-approved Mock Spaghetti.
