A delightful twist on a classic spaghetti squash recipe, combining savory bacon and caramelized onions for a flavorful and satisfying dish.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the squash.
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Use a sturdy knife and be cautious while cutting the squash.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 40-45 minutes until tender.
Roasting enhances the natural sweetness of the squash.
While the squash is roasting, cut the bacon into small pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until partially crispy.
Cooking the bacon partially allows it to crisp up further with the onions.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon and cook until the onions are caramelized.
Stir occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even caramelization.
Once the squash is done, let it cool slightly, then use a fork to scrape out the strands into a serving bowl.
Scraping with a fork creates spaghetti-like strands.
Combine the bacon and onion mixture with the squash strands, and season with salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese.
Mix gently to evenly distribute the flavors.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Savory Bacon and Onion Spaghetti Squash Delight.
Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor.
