Roasted Spaghetti Squash

The spaghetti squash that I have used in this recipe was roasted for 45 Minutes at 400ยฐF and the strands came out Al dente. It is better to have an undercooked Spaghetti squash than an overcooked one.

Depending of your oven and the size of your spaghetti squash, the roasting time may differ.

You can check if the spaghetti squash is cooked by poking it with a knife or a fork. If the flesh is tender then the squash is ready.
Cut the tip top and bottom of the spaghetti squash then cut it in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the seeds and the stringy bits of flesh.
Season the inside of each half the squash with salt then place in a baking sheet cut side down.
Bake at 400ยฐF for 40 to 45 minutes.
Use a fork to scrape the strands and fluff them to look like spaghetti.
