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:
- Preheat the oven to 400’F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Using a sharp knife, slice the squash in half lengthwise
- Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard them
- Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper
- 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
- 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.
