Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Halve each spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the cut sides with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place cut-side down on a large baking sheet.

Roast the squash for 35–40 minutes, until the flesh is tender when pierced with a fork and the strands pull away easily. Remove from the oven and flip the halves cut-side up to cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
