Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 pound spaghetti squash
  • 1 cup of water
  • salt optional
  • black pepper optional

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the squash. Cut it in half. It helps to lay a towel on a flat surface to prevent it from slipping around while cutting.
  2.  Pierce the skin all around with a knife.
  3. Next, add one cup of water to the instant pot. Place a steamer rack on the bottom. Add the squash skin side down. Cook for ten minutes.
  4. Finally, release the steam.
  5. Fluff the strands with a fork and enjoy while hot. 

Notes

  • SERVE: You can keep the Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash out for about two hours before it needs to be covered and refrigerated.
  • STORE: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
  • FREEZE: Once cooled, place the squash in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for 2-3 months.
  • DEFROST: Defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
  • REHEAT: Place the squash strands on a microwave-safe plate and reheat in 30-second intervals until heated through.
