INGREDIENTS
·
1
medium spaghetti squash
·
4-6
oz chopped broccoli crowns or add extra!
·
2
slices bacon
·
2-3
oz grated cheese (choose your favorite)
·
salt
and pepper to taste

2
TBSP crumbled feta cheese

INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Pre-heat
oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Slice
your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. For easy
cutting, feel free to stick each squash in the microwave for 5 minutes to
soften it up just a tad. The knife slides through way easier this way!
3.
Next
grab a lipped baking sheet or a rimmed baking dish.
4.
Rub
the cut side of the squash with a teeny bit of cooking oil.
5. Place
inside a baking dish or atop rimmed baking sheet and roast face-down for 30-40
minutes, or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary
a bit depending on the size of your squash, and the once rock-hard exterior of
the squash will be visibly softened.
6.
While
the squash roasts, steam or blanch your broccoli and cook your bacon.
7.
For
the bacon, chop and pan-fry until crispy. (approx. 3 minutes)
8. Once
squash is roasted, allow to cool until easily handled or pop on an oven mit and
use a fork to separate and fluff the strands of spaghetti squash.
9.
Add
your broccoli, shredded cheese, and bacon, then season with salt and pepper to
taste.
10.Top
with crumbled feta and bake at 350 degrees F for around 10-15 minutes or until
hot and bubbly.
11.For
a golden cheesy topping, flip your oven to broil on high for just a minute or
two until lightly browned.
12.Garnish
with parsley if desired and dig in!
Notes
· Short
on time? The squash can be roasted and stored in the fridge if you'd like to
meal prep and plan ahead for a speedier dinner. You can also microwave your
squash in lieu of baking if you'd prefer.
· Get
Cheesy! Choose your favorite cheeses to use in this dish. I used a combination
of creamy Havarti and feta cheese. You could also use Mozzarella + Parmesan,
Cheddar, Gruyere, Gouda, or anything your heart desires!
