Baked Spaghetti Squash
Baked spaghetti squash serves wonderfully as a low-carb alternative to pasta or a delightful addition to salads. I frequently enjoy it with a simple combination of Parmesan cheese and olive oil. The recipe is incredibly straightforward — just halve the squash and bake until the skin can be easily pierced with a fork. While you can incorporate additional seasonings before baking, I typically prefer to add spices afterward.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Place spaghetti squash, cut side down, onto the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender and skin can easily be pierced with a fork, 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the size.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest until cool enough to handle. Scrape out the flesh with a fork and discard the skins.
