Ingredients
Instructions
1 medium spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise using a sharp knife, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork.
While the squash roasts, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, and cook for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes, until they start to soften.
Season the vegetable mixture with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, stirring to combine.
Remove the roasted squash from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes until safe to handle.
Use a fork to scrape the squash flesh into strands, transferring them to the skillet with the vegetables.
Toss everything together gently to combine and heat through for 2–3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
