Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Brush the cut sides with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt.

Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, until the skin yields easily when pressed and a fork slides through the flesh without resistance.
