Howdy,

My name is Brian, AKA WinnipEGGhead on the other forum. I have had my Large Egg for about 2 years now, my XL for 1 year and my Mini is about a month old. I have been lurking a lot lately and decided to start posting to the vegetarian forum as it seems it is vastly underused :-)

I've started doing a LOT more vegetarian cooks on the Big Green Egg lately. Tonight I did grilled spaghetti squash and a roasted garlic bread.

Never cooked a spaghetti squash before, it said on the instruction sticker (glad it came with instructions!!!) that it needed to bake at 375F for about 45 minutes. It wasn't close at 30 minutes so I upped the temp to 400F for the second 30 and it cooked great.

Here are some pics...

Turned out great! I would make this again for sure!

Happy Egging!

    Thanks!!!

    I started them off cut in half and cleaned out. Brushed them with some olive oil and hit with some Italian seasoning.

    The instructions said to put some water in the cavity to help them cook faster, but I didn't want to do that with the oil and seasoning, so that's why I upped the Egg temp to 400F and flipped them over.

    Cooked them indirect the whole time over the plate setter.

    Thanks. Spaghetti squash has looked interesting when others have cooked it, so I have wanted to try it for some time. Do you eat it just like spaghetti?

    Yeah, just like spaghetti. When it is done, it will get stringy and shreds with almost no effort at all. I just used a regular old fork to shred it.

    I just whipped up a quick pasta sauce and topped with asiago cheese and fresh chopped basil. It has a different texture than pasta and a mild flavor, so you get more flavor from the sauce than the squash.

    What I liked about it was that I like garlic bread but I didn't want carbs on carbs. So it was nice to have a plate full of veggies and some garlic bread on the side.
