Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and get out a rimmed baking sheet.
  2. Take your spaghetti squash and using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half lengthwise.
  3. Using a spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds and strings, leaving the tender inside flesh whole, with only the hollow left in the middle.
  4. Sprinkle the interior of the squash with salt and pepper.
  5. Place the spaghetti squash cut side down on the baking sheet. Poke holes in the back of the squash.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup of water on the baking sheet.
  7. Place the baking sheet into the oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until the squash is fork-tender, but not mushy.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and cool the squash.
  9. When the squash has cooled enough to touch, use a fork to fluff up the inside strands of the squash so that it looks like "spaghetti".
  10. Melt the butter in the microwave and mix in the brown sugar and cinnamon, Drizzle over top of the squash.
  11. Eat and enjoy!
