<\/h3>\nHow to bake spaghetti squash<\/span><\/h3>\n
To prep your spaghetti squash, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Slice the squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and membrane. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. In a pinch, you can use aluminum foil with cooking spray, but parchment paper is preferable. <\/span><\/p>\n
Place the squash cut side down on the baking sheet and pierce it a few times with a fork so it can vent. <\/span><\/p>\n
Bake the squash according to whether you like firmer or softer “spaghetti.” Roasting the squash for a shorter period of time (30 – 40 minutes) gives you crisper, more \u201cal dente\u201d strands, while roasting it longer (60 minutes) gives you softer, juicier strands. Both taste good and are nutritious, so it\u2019s a matter of preference.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\nAllow the squash to cool for at least 20 minutes, or until it\u2019s cool enough to handle. <\/span><\/p>\n
Use a fork to scrape the flesh out. It will easily come out in perfect noodle form!<\/span><\/p>\n
