Meal Prep Spaghetti Squash With Roasted Veggies
Some weeks I need to shake up my regular meal prep routine! I almost always do brown rice, chicken and veggies because it is the easiest thing for me! But after awhile, I get tired of the same old same old. That's why I started incorporating spaghetti squash into my meal prep rotation! It is so good! It makes you feel like you are eating pasta, without actually eating all the carbs! I love it! Make it with me!
Spaghetti squash is super easy to cook up! You can do it in the panggangan or in the Instant Pot! I will put instructions to both in the recipe below! For the roasted veggies, you just want to be careful that you don't burn them! Set the panggangan to 400, and let them roast for the first 10-12 minutes, undisturbed. Then, start peaking in and watching them after that. Everyone's panggangan is different and cooks differently! You want them to be roasted and browned, but not black.
For the chicken, I recommend using whatever is your favorite! In these pictures, I used some leftover shredded chicken I had in the fridge! You can also use rotisserie chicken, precooked chicken strips, or you can bake or grill up some chicken! Whatever way is your favorite to eat it, I would cook it that way!
