Ingredients

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

Preparation

Step 1

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.
