Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spaghetti Squash: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the insides with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, then add minced garlic, cherry tomatoes, olives, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Stuff the Squash: Once the spaghetti squash is roasted, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands. Mix the strands with the sautéed vegetable mixture, then fill the spaghetti squash halves with the mixture.
  4. Bake Again: Return the stuffed squash to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to heat through.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy your Vegan Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash Boats!
