Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Your choice of sauce (marinara, pesto, etc.)
- Optional toppings (grated cheese, fresh herbs, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot for roasting.
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, taking care to preserve as much of the flesh as possible.
- Drizzle the inside of the squash with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes until the flesh is fork-tender.
- Once cooked, take a fork and gently scrape the insides of the squash to create beautiful, spaghetti-like strands.
- Toss the spaghetti strands with your choice of sauce and add optional toppings before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with olive oil.
