Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350

Step 2

Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, if difficult to cut a few minutes in the microwave will make halving easier

Step 3

Brush cut side with oil, season with a sprinkling of salt and pepper, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper cut side up

Step 4

Bake in 350 oven for 35-45 minutes or until squash separates easily from the skin, cool for approximately 20 minutes, use a fork to scoop and separate squash strands

Step 5

Place in a serving dish, serve with a side of your favorite spaghetti toppings, spaghetti sauce, freshly snipped herbs with shredded cheeses and halved cherry tomatoes or pesto are all excellent choices
