Sabrina’s Roasted Spaghetti Squash Recipe
Roasted Spaghetti Squash is an unexpected, but delightful side that you can serve with weeknight meals or special occasion dinners. This recipe is the easiest way to cook it, and have it ready to serve in an hour. Best of all, most of that time isn’t even hands-on work. It only takes a few minutes to slice and season the squash. Then, you’ll just put it in the oven to let it cook to tender, sweet, and nutty perfection.

- 2 spaghetti squash
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
Instructions

- Halve the squash and scoop out the seeds.
- Brush with olive oil
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flip and bake an additional 20 minutes.

This recipe was such a pleasant surprise. The spaghetti squash came out with a nice nutty sweetness and the prep was super simple – just oil, salt, pepper and into the oven. I served it with a light tomato-herb sauce and honestly it felt like a special side dish rather than just something “healthy”. Will keep this in my rotation for sure.
