- 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.
- Pierce the skin all around with a knife.
- 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.
- Finally, release the steam.
- Fluff the strands with a fork and enjoy while hot.
