½ tsp salt, divided
¼ tsp black pepper

For the marinara

1 small yellow onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn

For serving

2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the squash halves cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the cut surfaces with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season with 1/4 tsp of the salt and the black pepper.
2
Flip the squash halves cut-side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 40–45 minutes, until the skin yields easily when pressed and a fork slides through the flesh without resistance.
