Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the spaghetti squash halves cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the cut surfaces with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

Flip the squash halves cut-side down and roast for 35–40 minutes, until the skin yields easily when pressed and a fork slides through the flesh without resistance. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then use a fork to scrape the flesh into long strands. Set the strands aside and reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
