Looking for an easy side dish that’s healthy during grilling season? This Grilled Spaghetti Squash only requires a few ingredients and is delicious. A low carb favorite that can be made without heating up the kitchen. The char on it gives it so much flavor!

I’m always looking for more easily, healthy side dishes on our grill that I can throw on with our favorite burgers, pork chops and more.

This Grilled Spaghetti Squash is going to be a regular staple in our grilling game all summer long.

It’s quick, easy, healthy and the kids love it!

Checking all the check boxes for me!

Ingredients for grilled spaghetti squash including a spaghetti squash, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Ingredients

The best part about this is there are two ingredients, well four if you count the seasoning.

I bet you already have them all except the spaghetti squash.

You’ll need:

  • Spaghetti Squash
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • Basting brush putting olive oil onto spaghetti squash
  • Seasoned spaghetti squash on grill racks.
  • Spaghetti Squash flesh side down on grill.

Steps to Prepare

  • Preheat grill to 350 degrees using indirect heat.
  • Cut spaghetti squash in half, lengthwise. Scrap the seeds out and discard.
  • Brush olive oil over the flesh in both halves. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the flesh.
  • Place spaghetti squash over indirect heat on preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 25-30 minutes or until fork tender. When squash is cooked through it will shred easily.
  • When it is done cooking place squash flesh side down on direct heat and grill 3-5 minutes or until just charred.
  • Remove from grill. Shred with fork.

Variations

  • Sprinkle garlic powder or minced garlic along with the salt and pepper when you are preparing it.
  • Top with Parmesan cheese. Cheese makes everything better!
  • Add fresh herbs.
  • Warm up marinara sauce serve it on top of your shredded spaghetti squash. Then add mozzarella or Parmesan cheese to the top.
  • If you’d prefer Alfredo sauce use that instead of the Marinara sauce. Throw grilled chicken on with it and slice it and serve it over the top!

Expert Tips

  • The size of your spaghetti squash, and they vary, will make the cooking time change. My spaghetti squash was medium sized.
  • You’ll know your squash is done when you can easily separate the strands with a fork.

      Only turn the burners on one side of the grill on, place the spaghetti squash on the opposite side of the grill.

    I love grilling everything I can. Almost had to use the grill in freezing temps last weekend when the power went out here in Texas!
    2 questions…
    Are we cooking indirect at 350 or 400? Both are listed.
    When cooking indirect does it matter what side is on the grill? I am going to assume the uncut side since you put the cut side down later for grill marks.
    Love your recipes. Sometimes have to adappt them to eliminate sugar and salt.

      You cook the spaghetti squash over indirect heat first and then finish it with the flesh down over direct heat to get that grilled taste.
