Notes
Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the squash.
Ingredients
1 whole medium-sized spaghetti squash
Directions
- Wash the squash and poke it 10 times with a sharp knife.
- Place the entire squash in your slow cooker (no water needed), and secure the lid.
- Cook on either low heat for 6 hours or high heat for 4. You’ll know it’s ready when the outer flesh is soft.
- Carefully remove from the slow cooker as it will be flimsy and hot.
- Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds to later roast, and use a fork to pull the strand-like flesh away from the peel.
- Now it’s ready to use in your favorite recipe – here are some spaghetti squash recipe ideas.
