Bean Appetit

Squishy Squashy Hair

Make the Mama Mato recipe on page 92 of our book Bean Appetit (click here for PDF). Use baked spaghetti squash instead of spaghetti noodles for Mama Mato’s hair.

• 1 spaghetti squash
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 cup water

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice squash into quarters. 

Before you make this recipe, style your hair in the craziest style imaginable!

Use a spoon to remove seeds from each squash quarter and throw away. Place squash on a deep baking pan.

Mix the brown sugar and water. Carefully pour the water into the center of the squash. 

Bake for 35-45 minutes, until tender.  Let cool for 10 minutes.

Pretend you’re about to cut someone’s hair. Use a fork to separate the squash into strands, which should look like spaghetti. Swap the squash for spaghetti in the Mama Mato recipe!
