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.
