Ingredients
  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • ½ yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut squash in half lengthwise. If the squash is too firm to cut, microwave for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife.
  2. Use a spoon and discard the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the squash halves, cut-side down, on the baking sheet. Depending on the size of the squash, roast for approximately 35 to 60 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife.
  4. Remove from the oven. Let stand at room temperature until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
  5. Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti squash into a colander, separating the strands.
  6. Remove excess moisture and drain. Thoroughly pat dry.
  7. Transfer to a large bowl. Add flour, egg, onions, garlic, parsley, and salt. Mix well. If you find that the mixture is too wet, add additional flour.
  8. Form into patties.
  9. Coat a skillet on medium-high heat with non-stick spray. Cook for 3-4 minutes, without stirring, until the bottom is beginning to turn a golden brown.
  10. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
