Preparation Steps

  2. Puncture the spaghetti squash with a fork several times and microwave on high for 7–8 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Once cool, slice the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and rake the flesh into strands.
  4. Place the squash strands in a mixing bowl, add chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper, and combine well.
  5. Fill each muffin cup with the squash mixture, pressing down gently to form a compact shape.
  6. Spray the tops of the filled muffin cups lightly with olive oil and bake for about 10 minutes.
  7. After 10 minutes, flip each tot gently and spray tops again with olive oil; bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  8. Let the tots cool for about 5 minutes in the tin before gently releasing them with a fork.
