Get creative this winter with healthy spaghetti squash recipes. Spaghetti squash is a delicious, low-carb seasonal vegetable that can be used a variety of ways — even for breakfast or dessert!

Spaghetti squash is one of my all time favorite things to eat during the fall and winter months. As soon as I see these babies start popping up at the farmers market I basically keep at least one stocked in my kitchen at all times. Spaghetti squash is not only delicious, but it’s loaded with vitamins and minerals (namely vitamin C and a variety of b vitamins). It’s also low in fat and carbs with a good amount of protein and fiber.

Never made spaghetti squash before? I have a blog post all about the best ways to cook it. Don’t be intimidated! It’s super simple and perfect for easy meal prep.

Given it’s low-carb content and noodle-like strands it’s often used as a substitute for pasta. Although that’s one of the most common ways to prepare spaghetti squash it’s by no means your only option. This noodly squash can be used for breakfast and dessert recipes too. I personally haven’t had a chance to experiment with sweet spaghetti squash, but I’m so excited about the idea of it!

In the meantime, get ready for your meal planning to be made easier with this spaghetti squash recipe roundup. This post brings together so many delicious and creative ways to cook up this interesting vegetable. I hope this post will inspire you to grab a spaghetti squash the next time at you’re at the grocery and get creative in your kitchen.
