Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the squash evenly.
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the spaghetti squash into 1 1/2 inch thick rounds. If slicing is difficult, microwave the whole squash for 30-60 seconds to soften the exterior slightly.
Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop out the seeds from each squash round, discarding or saving them as desired.
Place the squash rounds on a baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the squash rounds to cool slightly until safe to handle.
Using a fork, gently scrape the flesh of the squash to separate it into long, spaghetti-like strands.
Serve the spaghetti squash warm as a base for your favorite sauces, toppings, or enjoy it plain.
