Ingredients

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

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. 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.
  3. Place squash, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking dish. Place into oven and roast until tender, about 35-45 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and let rest until cool enough to handle.
  5. Using a fork, scrape the flesh to create long strands.

Notes

  • *The squash can be placed in the microwave for 2-5 minutes for easier slicing.
