Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Microwave the spaghetti squash on high for 1 minute, then place it on a cutting board. Slice the squash in half lengthwise with a sharp knife.
- Scoop out the seeds using a spoon and place the halves on a baking sheet. Brush each half with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn them cut-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, until slightly fork tender.
- Take it out of the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Use a fork to scrape the flesh from the edges toward the center, creating long strands.
- Serve with pasta sauce, butter, herbs, or Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
Notes
Allow the squash to cool slightly after baking to make it easier to handle.
