Low Carb Simple Spaghetti Squash Prep
You can easily prep a spaghetti squash for your meals in an afternoon. Simply set it in an oven after prepping and walk away until done! Spaghetti squash is a great base for a keto pasta dish or can be served as a side.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat and oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet tray with foil. Prepare a spaghetti squash by remove the end with the stem and slicing the squash in half lengthwise, to reveal the seeds inside. Remove and discard the seeds.
Step 2
Please note that the amount of spaghetti squash listed in the ingredients is the yield weight of only the squash that is eaten for a more accurate nutritional log. The original weight of the entire squash used for 4 servings was about 2 ½ lb.
Step 3
Sprinkle the salt and pepper generously over the exposed insides of the squash. At this point, you may add additional seasonings you would enjoy. This squash has italian seasoning as well. Pour the olive oil liberally over each half of squash, even up to the edges.
Step 4
Flip the squash over and place face down on your sheet tray. Bake the tray for 60 minutes or until you can push a fork easily through the squash fruit. Set the squash aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Step 5
Once cooled enough to handle, use a fork to shred the squash into spaghetti strands, discarding the skins. Serve immediately or cool completely for meal prep storage.
