Checking all the check boxes for me!

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

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.
