Food prepping for lunches is done. ✅ Gazing into the fridge, I looked at what to make for dinner. I see leftover pepperoni, pizza sauce, basil, cheese, some garlic, and spaghetti squash. I start grabbing them out and reaching for seasoning ingredients. 💡Let's make pepperoni pizza spaghetti squash! 😍Yes! 👩🏻🍳😋

Baked Spaghetti Squash 👌🏼😋
1) Preheat oven to 35o.
2) Cover a baking sheet with foil, drizzle a little avocado oil, and rub it on the covered baking sheet.
3) Cut the spaghetti squash down the center & remove the seeds.
4) Rub avocado oil on it or use organic, unrefined coconut oil. (I used avocado oil.)
5) Press fresh garlic, a few shakes of M&B's Organic Garlic & Parsley Seasoning, Bragg's 24 Herbs & Spices Seasoning & grind on some Himalayan pink salt.
6) Throw it in the oven for 45-60 min at 350F depending on how large the squash is.
7) After baking, use a large metal servicing spoon to turn the spaghetti squash to pull it away from the outer shelling.
8) Add the sliced pepperoni and fresh basil.
9) Top with the shredded four blend and Romano cheese.
10) Put it back in the oven on the top rack to melt the cheese for about 5-6 minutes.
11) Remove add some pizza sauce to both halves of the spaghetti squash and top with a little more cheese.
12) Remove from the oven once the cheese has melted.
13) Let it cool for about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn your mouth.
14) Serve & Enjoy!!!
Other ideas:
I like to add a little avocado oil or EVOO with fresh Romano & chopped tomatoes & fresh basil/spinach or sometimes I use sauce or add some sautéed veggies. Endless options to create a healthy meal & even add a protein for a balanced meal.😉
