Learn How to Bake Spaghetti Squash at home with a few of the best tips and tricks. Use it as the healthy, low-carb base of all of your favorite pasta recipes all fall and winter long!
Wash and cut your squash in half, vertically. Remove the seeds and place both pieces face-down on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until soft/tender (you should be able to scrape the sides with a fork easily).
Serve hot with marinara sauce scooped on top, tomato halves, fresh herbs, or simply a little salt & pepper to your desired taste.
Notes
An adjusted cook time may be required. Depending on the size of your squash and the thickness of the halves, an altered cook time may be required. For example, if you're baking a large squash, it may take 60+ minutes to cook through.
Space the spaghetti squash halves out if possible. To prevent excess moisture from building inside the squash as they roast, it is best to space them out on the baking sheet so they have a couple of inches between each halve. If you cannot fit two squash halves on one baking sheet, use two baking sheets.
Save the seeds! Similar to roasted pumpkin seeds, spaghetti squash seeds can be roasted and sprinkled on salads, soups, or eaten on their own as a healthy snack.
