Spaghetti Squash Hash Browns Recipes

SPAGHETTI SQUASH HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Place spaghetti squash onto prepared baking sheet with cut sides down.
• Bake until squash is tender, about 45 minutes.
• Scrape strands of flesh from the squash with a fork and place in a large bowl. Mix flour and Parmesan cheese into squash strands.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Spoon 1/4 cup of the spaghetti squash mixture into the skillet and pat and press to form squash into a patty about 1 inch thick. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve patties topped with a dollop of sour cream.

HASH-BROWNED SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Place spaghetti squash in a microwave-safe baking dish, cut-side down, pour in water, and cover dish with plastic wrap. Poke a few holes in the plastic wrap for ventilation. Cook on microwave until tender, 6 to 9 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and allow to cool until easily handled.
• Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and Italian seasoning in the hot oil until onion is tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Set skillet aside, keeping vegetables warm.
• Run a fork along the flesh of the squash, pulling it into strands. Fluff strands to separate as much as possible and transfer to a bowl. Mix flour and Parmesan cheese into the strands. Add onion mixture and mix well.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup squash mixture into the hot butter and press to form a 1-inch-thick patty. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining squash mixture.

CHEESY HASH BROWN SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Wash and cut your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon.
• Place it in your microwave, cut side up, and cook for 10-12 minutes...until softened. Or bake at 425 degrees, cut side up, for 45-50 minutes
• Remove and let cool for about 10 minutes.
• Once the squash has cooled enough to handle, scrape the insides into a large bowl.
• If you weren't using your oven, preheat it to 400 degrees.
• In a cast iron skillet, add butter and olive oil then add shallots. Cook over medium heat until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
• To the skillet, add squash, sour cream, and half the cheese. Season with salt & pepper. Mix to combine everything and beginning to heat through.
• Remove from heat, cover with the rest of the cheese and then place into the oven.
• Bake until bubbly; about 15-18 minutes.
• Carefully remove from oven and then season with red pepper flakes if using.
• Allow to set for about 5 minutes, then serve!

LOW CARB LOW FAT SPAGHETTI SQUASH MOCK HASH BROWN CASSEROLE AKA

Steps:

• Wash the spaghetti squash. Pierce the rind 4-5 times with a sharp knife. Place in oven-proof pan. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven until soft, 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees. (Alternatively, place pierced squash on paper-towel lined plate and microwave 10-12 minutes.).
• When the squash is cool enough to handle, slice lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and discard. Fork the squash into strands and place in buttered casserole dish.
• While squash is baking, mix together soup, sour cream, chopped onion, garlic, and 1/4 cup of cheese.
• When strands of squash have been placed into casserole dish, toss with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste (I use almost no salt as the cheese tends to be salty enough).
• Pour soup mixture over squash and stir well. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is browned.
