Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded (ca. 1.2 kg)
  • 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 100 g Greek feta cheese, block cut in half
  • 250-300 g cherry tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of chili flakes
  • Fresh basil leaves, to garnish

Method

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Prep the Spaghetti Squash: Halve the squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the flesh of each half with 2 tablespoons of olive oil (1 tbsp per half). Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Place the squash halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Assemble the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, chili flakes, oregano, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place half of the feta block into the hollow of each squash half, then spoon the tomato mixture evenly over the feta. Drizzle with a little more olive oil.

  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender and the tomatoes are bursting. The exact timing may vary depending on the size of your squash.

  5. Serve and Garnish: Using a fork, gently scrape the squash flesh to separate it into strands and mix everything together in the squash halves. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Check for Doneness: Your squash is perfectly roasted when the strands pull away easily from the skin. Test it by poking the flesh with a fork—if it’s still firm, give it another 10–15 minutes in the oven until tender.
  • Make It Your Own: Not into feta? Swap it out for goat cheese or cream cheese for a creamy twist. Want to add some protein? Mix in cooked Italian sausage or shredded rotisserie chicken for a heartier meal.
