Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper adjust to taste
Instructions
- Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Season with salt and pepper lightly.
- Place both halves in a microwave-safe dish, cut side down. If both halves don't fit in your microwave plate, cook them separately.
- Microwave on high for 7-12 minutes or until fork-tender. The time will vary depending on the size of your squash.
- Let it cool, then scrape the squash into strands. Serve in your favorite way!
Notes
- Ensure even cooking by placing squash halves cut sides down in a microwave-safe dish and cover with a microwave-safe lid or wrap to trap steam. This will help speed up the cooking process.
- Take care while cutting the squash, and use a sharp knife.
- Enhance flavor with a drizzle of olive oil or butter for a golden, crisp edge.
- Allow squash to stand for at least five minutes to complete the cooking process.
