    How to Prepare Spaghetti Squash

    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.

    Tip: If your squash is too hard to cut, soften it slightly in the oven or microwave before slicing it in half.

    Option 1: Roast the squash whole. Prick it all over with a fork and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes to make it easier to cut.

    
Option 2: Microwave the squash. Prick it all over with a fork and microwave in 1-minute bursts until it’s soft enough to cut.

    Then, cut the squash in half and proceed with the recipe!
