Roasted Basil Parmesan Spaghetti Squash Recipe
Ingredient’s List
- 1/4 of a cup of parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp of fresh or dried basil
- 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 medium to large sized spaghetti squash
- Salt and pepper for seasoning to taste
How To Make It!
- Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Take the spaghetti squash and cut it in half the long way. Use a spoon to take the seeds out.
- Meltdown or soften the coconut oil and brush over the inside and the edges of the squash.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper to season to your liking.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Turn the squashes upside down and place them with the insides down on the baking sheet.
- Place them in the oven for about 40 to 50 minutes or until they are tender.
- Once they are out of the oven and cool enough to handle, take a fork and scrape the insides of the squash to create the “spaghetti” effect.
- Add the lemon juice, and the rest of the coconut oil and sprinkle the basil on to the spaghetti on the inside of each squash.
- Use a fork to mix the spaghetti with the seasoning you just added, so that all the flavors can meld together.
- Add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top and enjoy!
