Last week I bought a squash – except I wasn’t quite sure what it was! It looked like a giant delicata squash, but I wasn’t sure. The woman at the farmers market said that sometimes the squashes cross pollinate – not sure I spelled that right – but she said it could be a spaghetti squash – for a $1 I bought it!
I roasted it for 45 minutes in the oven – just sliced in half, with the seeds, sprayed with a bit of avocado spray and salt and pepper and baked it at 400 degrees until fork tender.
I had one baked potato in the fridge, so shredded that and added it to the spaghetti squash – I used Daks Voodoo Cajun spice for these, but feel free to use your favorite spice. Then pan fried them in a bit of oil and avocado spray – about 2 minutes per side – the filling is fully cooked, so you are just trying to get the outside crispy.
I love Dak’s seasonings because you can adjust the amount of salt – all of the spices are salt free. I have a discount code of Bizzy10 to get 10% off your order – my all time favorite is the steakhouse seasoning.
So crispy on the outside yet soft and tender on the inside. Yum!
Spaghetti Squash Fritters
A great way to use up spaghetti squash - make these spaghetti squash fritters - makes 2 servings at 4 points each - or like 8 fritters!!
Ingredients
- 2 cups spaghetti squash
- 5 ounces baked potato, shredded
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons Voodoo Cajun Seasoning (I used Dak's)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Squeeze out any excess liquid in the spaghetti squash. Mix remaining ingredients together.
Heat a skillet over medium low heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil, and avocado spray, and pan fry the fritters about 2-3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned.
Notes
I put this into the WW recipe builder as 8 servings - so one fritter as of the time of publication is 1 WW point each. You can decide however many you like to eat. Click here for the WW tracker.

My step-son turned 30 on Saturday! I literally can’t believe it. One of my favorite stories about Joe is the snowman he made me – you can read about that here.
Sunday was Tony’s birthday. He would have been 59 years old. I miss that face so much. And I realized I forgot to call his parents yesterday. 🙁
And today is my Mom’s birthday! Happy birthday Momma! I surprised her at church yesterday and we went out to lunch.
And we are back to Monday. A lot of the attorneys are at a retreat, so hopefully it won’t be too busy today – fingers crossed!
Happy Monday – make it a great day!
Lol it must be an optical illusion by it looks like your mom is not wearing half a shirt!
Happy Birthday to all of your family members. I love that you share these stories. They are so heart warming. I have tried spaghetti squash in the past, but never made something like these. Have you ever made a spaghetti squash & serve it like you would pasta? Coworkers are always telling me how good it is but I am kind of skeptical.
Love the idea here but disagree with “the filling is fully cooked” since you added an egg! They’ve definitely gotta get hot all the way through 🙂
Okay, that’s true – but the egg will cook in the 6 minutes these cook 😀
Joe is such a cutie! Your devotion to your husband was so apparent. You two had an everlasting love. Thank you for sharing stories about him. Warms my heart.
Oh my gosh, that snowman is the sweetest thing ever.
Happy Birthday Tony! So sorry your love story was cut short Biz. You are one tough cookie. I always hug my husband a little extra when you post about yours.
