Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash is rich in vitamin A and is also a good source of vitamins C, B9 (folate), B3 (niacin), and B6 (pyridoxine). It is low in fat, high in fiber, and rich in nutrients.

Here’s how to prepare it:
Wash the whole spaghetti squash. Cut it in half and remove the seeds. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350-400° F. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle sea salt and pepper over both open sides and cook face down for 40-50 minutes. Lower temps may require more cooking time. You may add other spices/herbs if you wish (such as dried rosemary or garlic). Remove from the oven and add steamed onions, mushrooms, broccoli, and/or other veggies. Top with marinara sauce or another sauce if you desire. Let cool. Enjoy!
