Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 4-6 oz chopped broccoli crowns or add extra!
- 2 lices Bacon
- 2-3 oz grated cheese (choose your favorite)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 TBSP crumbled Feta cheese
- parsley to garnish optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- 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!
- Next grab a lipped baking sheet or a rimmed baking dish.
- Rub the cut side of the squash with a teeny bit of cooking oil.
- 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.
- While the squash roasts, steam or blanch your broccoli and cook your bacon.
- For the bacon, chop and pan-fry until crispy. (approx. 3 minutes)
- 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.
- Add your broccoli, shredded cheese, and bacon, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top with crumbled feta and bake at 350 degrees F for around 10-15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
- For a golden cheesy topping, flip your oven to broil on high for just a minute or two until lightly browned.
- 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!
