Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs Spaghetti Squash
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp Seasonings
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut a slit in the top of one washed squash and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Be cautious as the skin can be tough to cut through. However, putting it in the microwave should help.
- Scoop out the seeds and pulp from the center of each half using a spoon.
- Drizzle olive oil over the cut sides of the squash, then sprinkle with salt and your favorite spices. You can get creative here and use anything from garlic powder to Italian seasoning.
- Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily separates into spaghetti-like strands when scraped with a fork.
- Remove the squash from the oven, flip the pieces over immediately and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Using a fork, gently scrape the flesh of the squash to create spaghetti-like strands. The strands should come off easily and resemble spaghetti noodles.
- Transfer the spaghetti squash strands to a serving dish and toss with your favorite sauce or toppings.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious spaghetti squash!
