When I was a kid, I wouldn’t have touched spaghetti squash with a ten foot pole. See, I was THE picky eater. I was the picky eater parents complain about for 30 years. It was bad, and I partially grew out of it (as many kids do) but not entirely.
If you have one of those picky kids, you know that you’ll try anything to get them to eat their vegetables, including sneaking them into anything and everything. As it turns out, these easy spaghetti squash “tater tots” could be the perfect solution! Dipped in your kid’s favorite sauce, they look and taste eerily similar to classic tater tots, but they’re full of nutrients. Spaghetti squash is a great alternative for pasta and potatoes, and it’s a low-calorie, fiber-rich vegetable (or fruit – that’s debatable).
Plus, these spaghetti squash tots are freezer-friendly! Once cooked, you can refrigerate the tots in an airtight container for up to a week, or you can freeze them for up to three months. That means you can make a big batch all at once and have “tater tots” at the ready whenever you want!
Here’s how to make tasty spaghetti squash tots that adults and kids will love!
