How To Roast Spaghetti Squash

Roasting spaghetti squash is so simple but such a great way to cook this delicious low carb swap. We use it as a replacement for spaghetti noodles or make stuffed squash in a variety of meals. It is yummy, healthy and you will love how easy it is to prepare.

How to Roast Spaghetti Squash:

1. Preheat the oven to 400’F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Using a sharp knife, slice the squash in half lengthwise
3. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard them
4. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper
5. Place cut side down and bake for 25-40 minutes depending on your preference. I like my spaghetti squash to still have some bite to it, so I take it out around 25 minutes
6. Once done cooking, use fork to scrape out the squash into spaghetti-like strands

This is a simple tutorial but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. I much prefer my spaghetti squash noodles to be ‘al dente’. I do not like them to be mushy. So I roast mine for 25-30 minutes. If you like them to be softer, you could go up to 40 minutes. Just be sure to check on it as it is cooking.

To serve, I like to toss it with ghee and more salt and pepper to taste, it is a simple yet wonderful side dish. You can also serve it with any sauce, I have some of my favorites listed below.
