Baked Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash is easily prepared in the oven--just cut it in half and bake it until the skin is easily pierced with a fork. You can then use it as a low-carb pasta substitute or turn it into salads. I often just eat it simply with some Parmesan cheese and olive oil. If you want you can season it before you bake it, but I usually spice it up later.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.

Step 2

Place spaghetti squash, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until skin can easily be pierced with a fork and spaghetti squash is tender, 40 to 60 minutes, depending on size of spaghetti squash.

Step 4

Remove from oven and allow to rest until cool enough to handle. Scrape out flesh with a fork and discard skins.
