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 lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush cut sides with olive oil and roast face-down on a baking sheet for about 35–40 minutes until tender.
  2. While the squash roasts, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft (about 5 minutes), then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Once cooled, shred the roasted squash into noodle-like strands using a fork.
  4. In a large bowl, combine shredded squash with sautéed onions and garlic, Greek yogurt, one cup of cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
  5. Transfer to a greased casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake at 375°F for about 20–25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving.
