Preheat your oven to 450 F

-Buy a nice sized and fairly heavy spaghetti squash.

-Cut it in half lengthwise with a very sharp knife as these are tough shelled little guys:)

-Once you cut it in half scrape out the loose seeds and lightly oil the flesh with organic , extra virgin olive oil (EVOO:)

-I like to sprinkle with a bit of pink Himilayan salt and place a few sprigs of fresh organic oregano and thyme on the flesh before baking.

-Lay the cut side of the squash onto a parchment lined baking pan and put into the oven.

After 25 min poke the shell with a sharp knife to see if it is done. You will know its done when the tip pierces the shell easily...max 30 min.

Remove from the oven and let sit for a few min, then turn flesh side up.

You are now ready to use your fork and scrape the flesh from the shell...its shreds like little spaghetti noodles!

Scrape into a little bowl, onto a plate or put the whole 1/2 squash on a plate and eat the whole thing!

I do all the time....yum!

At this stage you can season any way you choose as this squash is very gentle on the palate and accepts many flavours as a compliment . I most times just put a little bit of coconut oil on and dig in but have enjoyed it with diced up fresh organic tomatoe and fresh basil mixed into the shredded noodles as well:) Your taste buds and imagination are the limit...and this is great in a lunch box day 2 eaten cold as well:) Happy eating!

Shreds up like little noodles! - Kids will love this as much as adults.

Just scrape a fork over the tender baked squash and this is what you get! Cool huh! And yummy too:)
