Discover how easy it is to transform spaghetti squash into a delicious, low-carb pasta alternative. This ultimate guide features a simple roasted base method and savory toppings that satisfy your comfort food cravings without the carbs.

Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash (about 2-3 lbs)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Optional toppings: keto-friendly marinara sauce, grated parmesan cheese, fresh basil, or cooked ground beef

Directions

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the Squash: Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise using a sharp chef's knife. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp with a spoon.
Season: Rub the inside of each squash half with olive oil, and season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Roast: Place the squash halves cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily scraped away with a fork into spaghetti-like strands.
Fluff and Serve: Let the squash cool for 5 minutes, then use a fork to scrape and fluff the strands. Serve immediately with your favorite keto marinara sauce, butter and parmesan, or ground meat topping.
