Spaghetti Squash and Sausage Bites #CIC

October 20, 2016

Delicious Spaghetti Squash Bites for your next party. Or side dish. Or snack. They work in all those ways.

Welcome everybody to the October edition of the Crazy Ingredient Challenge!


Yay fall!!  As much as I love the warm sunny days of summer, I also love those cool crisp days of early fall.  Time to break out the sweaters and booties. It’s also time once again for the Crazy Ingredient Challenge. I just love the challenge because it brings out some really unique recipes for me and other bloggers.  And I was so very excited for the two ingredients this month….. Spaghetti Squash and Corn Meal!

Delicious Spaghetti Squash Bites for your next party. Or side dish. Or snack. They work in all those ways.
Spaghetti Squash is a favorite here in our household. It’s so versatile and it’s another way to enjoy pasta recipes without all the carbs.  You can cook spaghetti squash in the oven with some seasoning so you can add it to recipes, or you can make it quickly in the microwave. For this weeknight recipe, I went the microwave route.
It’s super easy to make it in the microwave. Just pierce the skin about a 1/2 inch deep 5-6 times all around it. Then, place it in the oven on a towel. Trust me. You WANT that towel. After cooking it 5 minutes on high, turn it over and cook another 5-8 minutes more.  It will be SUPER HOT. That’s where the towel comes in. You won’t be able to handle it otherwise.
The recipe this month came from Hubby’s brain.  I was struggling with this one, but he suggested making appetizers with a corn meal coating. Ahh…. what a great idea!  So after the squash cooled, I scooped out the seeds and strings then put the strands in a bowl. And it turned out pretty good.
