Delicious Roasted Spaghetti Squash Recipe - Easy & Healthy

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 1 medium Spaghetti Squash (Halved and seeds removed)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (For drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (To taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (Freshly ground)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Squash

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.

    Use a sharp knife for easier cutting.
  2. Season the Squash

    Drizzle the inside of each half with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

    Make sure to coat evenly for better flavor.
  3. Roast the Squash

    Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.

    Check for tenderness by piercing with a fork.
  4. Shred the Flesh

    Once cooked, remove squash from the oven and let cool slightly. Use a fork to shred the flesh into strands.

    This is where the 'spaghetti' texture comes from.
  5. Serve

    Serve warm as a base for your favorite sauce or as a side dish.

    Top with grated cheese or fresh herbs for added flavor.
