Ingredients : 

•         1 spaghetti squash
•          1 lemon
•          1 1/2 teaspoon dill
•          1 garlic clove, minced

Directions :

•          Prepare the Spaghetti Squash
•          Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
•          Slice washed squash in half and remove the seeds. You can either discard these or save them to wash and roast for snacking or tossing on salads.
•          Lightly brush the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place squash flesh-side down on a foil-covered baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork.
