Baking spaghetti squash is incredibly easy! Simply halve the squash and bake until fork-tender. It's a fantastic low-carb pasta alternative and a yummy addition to salads. I love enjoying it with a sprinkle of feta or Parmesan cheese on top.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Place the spaghetti squash, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until the squash is tender and the skin is easily pierced with a fork, approximately 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the squash size.
Remove the baked squash from the oven and let it cool until you can handle it comfortably. Use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti-like flesh, discarding the skin afterwards.
