- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded fine
- 1 teaspoon dried basil

- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 14-16 pepperonis (preference for hormel cup 'n crisp)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. (1) Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. *Be careful when cutting. This is the hardest part. Scoop out the seeds and discard. (2) Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. (3) Place the squash on a cookie sheet cut side down. (4) Bake for 40-45 minutes until tender. Flip the squash over.
- Use a fork to shred up the inside of the squash. Spoon over 1/4 cup of pizza sauce over the inside of each of the squash and spread to cover. Top with mozzarella, parmesan, then spices. Cover with pepperoni. Bake for 10-13 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure the squash is nice and tender before adding the toppings. It may need to be baked more. Bake in 5 minute increments.
