how to roast spaghetti squash

To roast spaghetti squash, follow these steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (about 200°C).
2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
3. Drizzle the inside of each half with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Place the squash halves cut side down on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet.
5. Roast in the oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, until the flesh is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
6. Let the squash cool for 10-15 minutes, then use a fork to gently scrape and pull the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.

This method yields perfectly roasted spaghetti squash with a tender texture and lightly caramelized edges, making it ready to use as a base for various dishes or enjoy as a healthy side.
