How to Cook Spaghetti Squash - The simplest and EASIEST way to cook spaghetti squash. And it's such a healthy substitute to pasta - low in calories and fat!

This is the easiest way to cook spaghetti squash, hands down.

 It literally takes 5 min of prep. That’s it.

Simply cut the squash in half, remove the seeds, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

I told you.

Five stinking minutes.

From there, depending on the size of the squash, you can let that roast for 45-60 minutes.

You’ll have the perfect strands for all your recipes.

But stay tuned. I have a garlic parmesan spaghetti squash recipe (loaded with tons of butter – DUH!) coming this week!

Ingredients

  • 1 2-3 pounds spaghetti squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise from stem to tail and scrape out the seeds.* Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place squash, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking dish. Place into oven and roast until tender, about 35-45 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let rest until cool enough to handle.
  • Using a fork, scrape the flesh to create long strands.

Notes

*The squash can be placed in the microwave for 2-5 minutes for easier slicing.
