Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large spaghetti squash (3 to 4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to
400°F. Make sure your oven rack is in the middle.
- Prep your squash. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Brush the olive oil on the cut sides of the squash. Sprinkle with black pepper.
- Roast – place the spaghetti squash cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast until fork tender, ~35 to 40 minutes.
- Flip – using a metal spatula, slide the spatula under each half carefully and flip over. Use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands. Taste and season as needed (depending on how you’re serving the final side dish).
