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
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds, and brush cut sides with olive oil. Place face-down on a baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes until tender.
  2. While the squash roasts, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until softened, then add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Once cool, shred the roasted squash into noodle-like strands using a fork.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded squash, sautéed onions and garlic, Greek yogurt, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
  5. Transfer mixture to a greased casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until hot and golden.
