Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the spaghetti squash halves cut-side down in a large baking dish. Add a splash of water to the dish to create steam, which helps the squash cook evenly. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the flesh is easily pierced with a knife; this usually takes about 40 minutes. (40 minutes)

04

Step

Allow the squash to cool for about 10 minutes, making it easier to handle. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Using a fork, shred the inside of the squash, creating spaghetti-like strands. Transfer the strands to a bowl. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. (2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try roasting the squash with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Leftover spaghetti squash can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I like to roast mine at a higher temp (400F) for a shorter amount of time (30 min), and it comes out perfect every time!

  • Darlene Wehner

    I added some roasted vegetables to mine and it was fantastic!

  • Delmer Kling

    I found that 40 minutes was perfect for my squash, it was tender and not mushy.

  • Kari Homenick

    My kids even loved it! A great way to sneak in some extra veggies.

  • Amara Paucek

    I used a balsamic glaze instead of parmesan, it was amazing!

  • Meagan Robel

    The squash was a bit watery, next time I will try poking holes in it before baking.

  • Sedrick Franecki
