Why We Love Baked Spaghetti Squash
Low carb is super easy with oven baked spaghetti squash! Serve it on its own, hot or cold. Tuck it into a low carb wrap or top a bed of salad greens with a light vinaigrette.
Cook it with a simple brush of olive oil (or leftover bacon grease), a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and enjoy a filling, low carb meal that’s great all year round! For a quicker alternative try air frying the spaghetti squash. For a holiday twist, sprinkle with brown sugar before roasting.
