Chili Spaghetti Squash Boats

You will need:


Roasted Spaghetti Squash

Ingredients

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Poke the tip of a knife around all sides of the stem to loosen and remove it leaving as much of the flesh of the squash intact as possible*. Then with the knife make marks on the squash as guidelines to cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. Rub with oil. Sprinkle with salt. Place cut side down on the parchment.

Bake in a 425° oven for about 45 minutes or until the flesh is all golden colored and very tender (You’ll need to flip it over to check). Cool slightly. Using a fork, loosen the ‘spaghetti’ by pulling out the flesh of the squash around the sides and the bottom. It will come out in strands.

*If their are large holes from removing the stem and there isn’t a good seal against the pan, they may take longer to cook.
