How to Cook Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash should be cut in half in the center across the short side...not the long side. It grows from the top to the bottom creating the strands. When you cut it lengthwise you are cutting the strands in half. If you cut across the center you will have much longer strands.

This really could use something with flavor added to it. I cooked this with balsamic roasted mushrooms. They had similar cook times, so it worked out well. I also added parmesean cheese to the squash after it was cooked.

I thought it was okay, but my kids and husband were not fans. As I was making it my children were not impressed and kept sneaking granola from the pantry. When I finally served dinner and they grudgingly tried it they all seemed grateful they had gotten food while they could. My husband, who is usually in charge of dinner clean up “forgot” to put away the leftovers and so was saved the job of eating the rest of it for lunch the next day. Suffice it to say we won’t be making it again.

I added some additional olive oil and I added paprika which gave ot a lot more flavor.

Tastes so much better than cooking it in the microwave to me.

Made it several times. I like mine super-crazy soft, so I do 350 for an hour in the oven. Sometimes I do butter & brown sugar or Garlic, olive oil, kosher salt & pepper. (I use light I can't believe it's not butter and a Splenda brown sugar) I also dry out all of my squash & pumpkin seeds and roast them.

400 check at 20 min if small. 30 to 40 otherwise.

Both my husband and I enjoyed the squash and served it with marinara sauce and pecorino Romano grated cheese on top. Delicious!

I added garlic powder 👌🏻

I threw on some Italian seasoning and more salt. So good!

Great method for doing spaghetti squash. Much tastier than microwaving.

Super easy and tastes nice. You can experiment with the spices as much as you like, this is a great side dish

We added browned beef and spaghetti sauce to the squash and it was great!

Came out perfect

Try to make with less salt and avocado oil
