Stuffed spaghetti squash is fun, delicious, and the perfect way to use up leftover random condiments, sauces, and veggies.

Seriously, looking for things to fill a roasted spaghetti squash with is one of the easiest ways to clean out your fridge. That’s because spaghetti squash has such a mild buttery flavor it pairs nicely with pretty much anything you’ve got to use up.

Hummus Spaghetti Squash Bowls

To start you need to roast your spaghetti squash. We like to use a hybrid microwave/countertop oven method but you can cook your squash in a traditional oven, in the instant pot, using your crockpot – basically, any way you please.

If you’ve never roasted a spaghetti squash before, check out our Ultimate Guide to Toaster Oven Spaghetti Squash for step-by-step photo directions and tips.

Cooking the squash is the hardest part/takes the most time. After that, all that’s left is filling up your bowls!

Today we’re stuffing our Hummus Spaghetti Squash Bowls with:

  • Creamy plain hummus
  • Fresh veggies (sweet bell pepper, tomatoes, and cucumbers)
  • Salty feta and kalamata olives
  • any fresh herbs hanging out in the fridge (like parsley or mint)
  • and generous dollops of our Tzatziki Sauce For Two

Can I Make These Bowls Vegan?

Absolutely!

Tim made a vegan version where he omitted the feta and tzatziki, swapped the plain hummus for a spinach and artichoke variety and tossed in some canned chickpeas for added protein. It was a BIG hit with his coworkers.

Like most of our vegetarian recipes, the flavor and ingredient options are super flexible so have fun and get creative!

Seasoned spaghetti squash bowls stuffed with veggies, hummus, and feta.

Ingredients

For The Spaghetti Squash:

  • Spaghetti Squash (30 oz, 1.9 lb)
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Pepper

For The Bowls:

  • 1/2 cup Grape Tomatoes halved
  • Half a Yellow Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 an English Cucumber, diced
  • 8 small Kalamata Olives, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Hummus
  • 2 tablespoons Feta cheese
  • Fresh Parsley or Mint Leaves
  • Lemon Wedges

Instructions

ROAST THE SQUASH
1. Adjust the cooking rack in your toaster oven, countertop oven, or oven to the bottom position and preheat to 425°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or line with a silicone baking mat.

2. Use a knife to carefully poke the squash in a few places on each side. Microwave 4 to 5 minutes.

3. Let the squash cool for a few minutes, then slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.

4. Rub each half with oil and season with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

5. Place squash (with the insides facing down) on your prepared pan and cook until a fork slides easily through the skin and flesh, about 30 to 45 minutes. (The amount of time will depend on the size of your squash)

6. Remove the cooked squash from the oven and cool for at least 5 minutes.

7. Scrape a fork along the flesh to create strands (make sure to leave a little squash behind to keep the ‘bowl’ intact for stuffing).

ASSEMBLY

1. Divide toppings evenly over spaghetti squash bowls and dig in!
