Ingredients

Scale

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ tsp paprika or dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and place face-down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes until tender.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions in olive oil until soft (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Once the squash is cool enough to handle, shred it into strands using a fork.
  5. In a large bowl, mix shredded squash with sautéed onions and garlic, Greek yogurt, 1 cup of cheese, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
  6. Transfer mixture to a greased casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving.
