Ingredients

• 1 large Spaghetti squash
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium, diced Zucchini
• 1 medium, diced Yellow squash
• 1 diced Red bell pepper
• 1.5 cups Broccoli florets
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

Carefully slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cut sides and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Place the squash halves cut-side down on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the squash is tender and can be easily shredded into strands with a fork.

Step 4

While the squash is roasting, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and broccoli. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and the Italian seasoning.

Step 6

Cook the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Remove the spaghetti squash from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the flesh to create spaghetti-like strands and transfer them to the skillet with the vegetables.

Step 8

Toss the spaghetti squash and vegetables together until well combined. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and lemon juice.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese or parsley if desired.
