- Feel free to add more of your favorite toppings or mix-ins if there's room! Anything goes in love and burritos.
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Slice your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. For easy slicing, feel free to stick each squash in the microwave for 5 minutes to soften it up just a tad. The knife slides through much easier this way! Score!
- To prevent sticking, rub the cut side of the squash with a teeny bit of olive oil or simply place a little water inside your baking dish. Both work great!
- Place your squash halves inside a baking dish or atop rimmed, lined baking sheet [some liquid will escape] 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 are roasting, prep your veggies and/or meat, as well as your toppings and sauces. This is a fabulous way of cleaning out the fridge and can easily be customized based on what you have on hand. Have fun with it!
- Once squash are ready, allow to cool enough to handle and fluff the "spaghetti" strands with a fork.
- Pile high with all your favorite burrito bowl toppings and mix-ins and dig in!
Notes
- Want a smaller serving? Stuff one spaghetti squash instead of two! My general rule of thumb is that each small/medium squash boat is a perfect single-serving. I wouldn't stress measurements too much; simply load 'em up with healthy whole foods and you're good to go!Serving a crowd? Make a GIANT burrito bowl for everyone to share! Serve this sassy squash up casserole style, piled high with all your mix-ins and toppings OR arrange all the ingredients in little bowls and let everyone customize their own burrito bowl. Anything goes!
