Yesterday marked the official start of fall. This time of year not only brings fresh pumpkin. It's also the season for spaghetti squash. Unfortunately, we didn't get any in the garden this year as I would have liked. So, I'll be picking them up at local markets instead.
There are so many ways to cook up this tasty vegetable. And, if you don't use it right away in one of your favorite low carb spaghetti squash recipes, it keeps well for months. That's why this fall crop is also widely available in winter and spring, too! It's a natural for replacing high carb noodles in your favorite dishes.
If you aren't sure how to cook spaghetti squash, I found this great video over at Ditch The Carbs that shows the traditional baking method. You can also cook it in the crock pot or Instant Pot. I've added these alternative cooking methods in the links below. Using the pressure cooker is my personal favorite.
Now that you know how to cook these vegetable noodles, you may be looking for dishes to use them in. Here's a list of 18 low carb spaghetti squash recipes to get you started!

Can any of these be frozen? my hubby doesn't care for spaghetti squash.

Spaghetti squash can be frozen and reheated so most (if not all) should be okay to freeze.

I'd love to try that pumpkin parmesean noodle recipe, but the link takes me to a different recipe. I tried to search on the wholesome page as well, seems it's no longer there.
Thank you for sharing all of these, they look amazing!
Lisa
It looks like wholesome yum forwarded the old link to a new one. You'll have to contact that site.

Bake it. clean out seeds. Cut it small, suate with onions and add cheese for faux hash browns.
Lisa
Great idea!

Spaghetti squash looks like an amazing vegetable, such a shame it is so hard to find in Australia!
Look like a little substituting with other grated veggies for the meantime 🙂
Lisa
Spiralized veggies work too!

These are great, I LOVE spaghetti squash, do you know what the net carb count is?
Lisa
The net carb for the recipes should be listed on each recipe. Is there a particular recipe you want it for?

Thanks for including my recipe! And I swear we are channeling each other because this is twice I've had a post in progress for my Friday Low-Carb round-up posts and you did one on the same topic. (The other one was eggplant.) I will move mine back a few weeks.
Sharing now!
