How to Cook Spaghetti Squash
Spaghetti squash is a versatile, low-carb wonder that transforms into tender, golden strands with just a little effort. In just 40 minutes, you can create a dish that’s both satisfying and wholesome, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a creative side.
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash
- extra-virgin olive oil
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
