Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with foil (optional) and brush surface lightly with oil. Cut spaghetti squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and place cut-sides down on prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30 – 40 minutes or until tender with a bit of texture remaining. Remove from oven and allow to cool (cut-side up) for about 10 minutes, then shred.
In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded spaghetti squash, and Frank’s Sauerkraut (make sure it’s well-drained), and toss to combine. Reserve a few pieces of the celery, red onion, and cherry tomatoes for garnish. Add the rest to the bowl, and toss to combine with the squash and kraut.
Prepare the inside of a 10-cup casserole dish by lightly brushing it with olive oil. Spoon in the combined ingredients, season lightly with salt and pepper (optional). Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and add reserved garnishes. Bake (uncovered) for 10 more minutes.
