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.
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 400°F for 40 to 45 minutes.
