Ingredients:

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash (approx. 2-3 lbs / 900g-1.4kg)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (3g)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (1g)
  • Optional: Garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs (Italian seasoning, rosemary, thyme) to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Carefully halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp.
  3. Drizzle the cut sides of the squash with olive oil. Season generously with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings.
  4. Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the squash is easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Let the squash cool slightly. Use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands. Learn how to cook spaghetti squash perfectly!
