Spaghetti Squash Bake

I love this vegetable for all the textures it brings to a dish. Here with a few savory ingredients, we make it a perfect side dish to meat, chicken or seafood. You should make sure you are using a sharp knife, since cutting the squash is a tough job. It takes a little time but you end up with perfectly clean cubes. The rest is a piece of cake.

Serves 6

Ingredients

• 1 large spaghetti squash
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp salt, preferably coarse
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

1. Start by cutting the squash in half with a sharp knife and scooping the seeds (use a big spoon), so the inside of it is clean. Then, cut each part in half and then into 1-inch slices. Cut off the skin from each slice and cut in half again. You should have 1-2 inch cubes.
2. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
3. Line out the squash cubes on the tinfoil covered cooking sheet.
4. Generously sprinkle the squash with garlic powder and salt.
5. Mix the honey and olive oil in a cup and drizzle the squash with the mixture.
6. Sprinkle paprika on top.
7. Place in the 375° F oven and let it bake for 45 minutes.
8. Place in a bowl and toss to coat all the pieces. Serve warm.
