Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 4 ounces feta cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the squash and other ingredients.
  2. Prepare the spaghetti squash: Carefully halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy bits in the center.
  3. Brush with oil: Place the squash halves cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the inside of each half with half of the olive oil.
  4. Fill the squash halves: Evenly distribute the thinly sliced shallots, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, Italian seasoning, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder inside each squash half.
  5. Bake: Roast the filled squash halves in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the cherry tomatoes start to burst and the cheese melts.
  6. Cool and mix: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the squash cool for a few minutes. Add the chopped baby spinach and fresh basil to each squash half and gently stir to combine. Use a fork to shred the squash flesh into strands resembling noodles.
  7. Serve: Serve the baked feta spaghetti squash immediately while warm and enjoy a flavorful, wholesome meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh basil with parsley if preferred.
  • For a nuttier flavor, drizzle a little extra olive oil before serving.
  • To make it vegan, replace feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative or omit entirely.
  • Spaghetti squash is great for meal prep and reheats well in the oven or microwave.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
