This recipe has three ingredients: spaghetti squash, bottled organic BBQ sauce and a bun. It is a healthy meal that is perfect for a school/work night. You can pop the squash in the oven and tend to things around the house while it cooks.
Preheat the oven to 375. Cut a spaghetti squash in half length-wise and scoop the seeds out.
Roast the squash halves in the oven for about 40 minutes or until it is tender. I like to squish the skin with an oven mitt and if the middle pushes out into “spaghetti strips” you know it’s ready.
Let it cool for a few minutes before you attempt to scrape the insides out. It will still be hot so use an oven mitt. Take a fork and work the strands of squash out into a bowl or colander.
Blot with paper towels to remove the excess water that naturally arises from cooking the squash.
Place the spaghetti squash and bottled organic barbecue sauce in a pot on the stove. I like Annie’s original flavored. Put just enough sauce to coat the squash, stir until sauce is heated.
Toast some Ezekiel buns and top with your favorite BBQ condiments. I like caramelized onions and jalapenos.
