Description
A delicious and healthy keto-friendly dish featuring spaghetti squash, broccoli, and a cheesy blend of cheeses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium spaghetti squashes (about 3–4 pounds total)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Cut the spaghetti squashes in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
- Drizzle the insides with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the halves cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes, or until tender.
- While the squash is roasting, steam the broccoli florets until bright green and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, almond milk, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
- Once the spaghetti squash is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Using a fork, scrape the insides to create spaghetti-like strands.
- Mix the squash strands with the cheesy broccoli mixture until evenly combined.
- Spoon the mixture back into the squash halves and return to the oven.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with pork rinds, celery sticks, or cucumber slices for a crunchy side.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in cooked bacon or diced chicken.
- You can also substitute the broccoli with other low-carb vegetables like cauliflower or spinach for variety.
