How to Cook Spaghetti Squash

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribbing. Drizzle the inside of the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Place the spaghetti squash cut side down on the baking sheet and use a fork to poke holes. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside, fork tender, but still a little bit firm. The time will vary depending on the size of your squash. I also find that the timing can vary from squash to squash.

  4. 4

    Remove from the oven and flip the squash so that it’s cut side up. When cool to the touch, use a fork to scrape and fluff the strands from the sides of the squash.
