Save on valuable time and oven space with this easy Slow Cooker Spaghetti Squash recipe! It’s a convenient way of cooking this delicious and versatile winter squash, with no babysitting required. Use it as a holiday side dish, in a casserole, or as a healthy alternative to regular pasta noodles.
Using a fork, poke several holes all over the outside of the squash.
Place the lid on the slow cooker. For a 3- to 4-pound squash, cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or LOW for 5 to 6 hours.
Remove the squash from the slow cooker and allow it to cool slightly.
Cut the squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds. Then, use a fork to scrape the flesh of the squash into spaghetti like strands.
Notes
*** To cook a squash larger than 4 pounds, add 1 hour (on HIGH) or 1 1/2 hours (on LOW) for each additional pound of squash. So, for example, cook a 5 pound squash on HIGH for 5 hours.
