Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and webbing of the squash.
  • Drizzle the squash halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet.
  • Roast for 30-40 minutes. It will start to brown on the outside. The squash should be fork tender yet still slightly firm. Remove from the and let cool until it can be easily handled.
  • Use a fork to pull the flesh apart and away from the sides. The flesh will form "spaghetti-like" noodles as it separates.
