How To Roast Spaghetti Squash
Below you will find an easy tutorial with photos on how to roast spaghetti squash, PLUS recipe ideas for serving your roasted spaghetti squash noodles.
Ingredients
- 1 Medium Spaghetti squash
- 1 Tbsp Olive oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Chop the tip and the tail off of the spaghetti squash, cut it in half length-wise, and scoop the seeds out of each half.
- Rub about a tablespoon of olive oil over the flesh of each half. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet.
- Roast the squash for 35 to 50 minutes or until the flesh is tender. Note: For crunchy noodles, roast for 35 minutes. For al dente noodles, roast for 40-45. For tender noodles, roast for 50 to 55 minutes.
- When the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to gently scrape the flesh, releasing spaghetti-like stands. Do this until both halves of the spaghetti squash are scraped clean and place the “spaghetti” into a large serving bowl.
- Serve spaghetti squash with your favorite sauce and cheese.
