RECIPE CREATED BY: Bone Coach™ Team Dietitian Amanda Natividad-Li, RD & Chef.
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup (250ml) grated aged gouda, edam or cheddar (source of vitamin K2)
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush the cut side of each squash half with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with salt. Place squash, cut-sides down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until the squash is tender when poked with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the cheese, garlic, and thyme.
- Flip the squash and use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti strands. Combine the spaghetti strands into one squash shell. Stir in the cheese mixture. Roast until the top is golden brown and cheese has melted, 10-15 minutes.
