Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ tsp paprika or dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Halve the spaghetti squash, scoop out the seeds, brush with olive oil, and place face-down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes until tender.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions in olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Once roasted, shred the squash into noodle-like strands using a fork.
  4. Combine shredded squash with sautéed onions, garlic, Greek yogurt, 1 cup of cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional seasonings in a large bowl.
  5. Transfer to a greased casserole dish, top with remaining cheese, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden.
