Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 cutting board
- 1 knife
- 1 pan
- 1 baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 sweet onion
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- dash salt
- 1 jar marinara
- 1 1/2 cups cheese (or my cashew cheese recipe)
- 1/2 cup pepperoni
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients and preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut spaghetti squash in half. My hack for this is microwaving the spaghetti squash for 2-3 minutes first to make it easier to cut! Remove the seeds, drizzle with oil and place face down on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until tender. This will depend on the size of your spaghetti squash.
- Chop onions and add them to a pan on medium heat with ground beef, garlic, oregano and salt.
- Once beef is browned, pour in marinara sauce and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Squeeze spaghetti squash to drain the excess liquid. Add to a greased baking dish.
- Layer meat sauce, cheese and toppings on top. Top with red pepper flakes and additional spices, if desired!
- Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F. Enjoy!
Notes
PRO TIP: Make sure to squeeze excess liquid out of spaghetti squash before adding it to the baking dish!
