How to Cook Spaghetti Squash

There are a few methods out there for how to cook spaghetti squash:

• Sliced into rings and baked
• Baked or microwaved whole
• Steamed in a pan of water in the oven
• Halved and baked cut side down

In my opinion, halved and baked cut side down is the best method. Hands down.

Directions

1. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
3. Rub olive oil into each squash half, about 1 tsp per squash half should be enough. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then place them cut-side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake for 40-60 minutes, until a fork can easily pierce through the squash’s interior.
5. Once the squash has finished baking, use a fork to fluff the insides until it has a spaghetti-like texture.
