Baked Spaghetti Squash

This doesn’t get much easier!

1-2 Spaghetti Squash

Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

With a very sharp knife, carefully cut off the ends of the squash. Stand it up on end and slice length size down the middle. Scoop out any and all seeds and strings in center of the squash. Drizzle with Olive Oil, 1 teaspoon each Salt and Pepper and lay cut side down a baking sheet.

Cook 35-45 minutes until tender and a knife can be inserted easily through the outer skin.

Remove from oven and with a fork and shred the “meat” out of the squash creating “spaghetti”.

This is wonderful to use instead of traditional noodles with a meat sauce or keep it vegetarian for a low carb alternative.

I also enjoy adding roasted garlic and Parmesan for a side dish. Spaghetti squash is a mild, bland flavor but a beautiful blank canvas, therefore you can make it whatever you want.
