Ingredients

  • 1 Spaghetti Squash

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400 F.
  • Next, prepare your spaghetti squash; using a sharp knife, slice it into 1 1/2 inch thick rounds. If you are unable to slice through the squash, simply pop it into the microwave for a few seconds before slicing.
  • Once you've cut your squash into rounds, use a spoon or a melon baller to gently scoop out the seeds from the inside. Discard them or set them aside.
  • Next, place your spaghetti squash rounds onto a baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. Then, sprinkle a generous pinch of sea salt and black pepper across them.
  • Finally, bake them in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Remove them from the oven, and let cool.
  • Once they are cool, use a fork to gently separate the strands from the skin.
  • Serve as desired, and enjoy!
