Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Place the spaghetti squash halves, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet. (2 minutes)

03

Step
50 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the squash is tender and the skin can be easily pierced with a fork. (40-60 minutes)

04

Step
15 mins

Remove the baked squash from the oven and let it rest until it's cool enough to handle. (15 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Using a fork, gently scrape the flesh to create spaghetti-like strands, discarding the skins. (5 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, drizzle the cut sides of the squash with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder before baking.
Roasted garlic cloves added to the baking sheet alongside the squash can be pureed and mixed into the spaghetti squash for a rich, savory flavor.
Baked spaghetti squash can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
