Roasted Spaghetti Squash
This roasted spaghetti squash couldn’t be easier to make and it’s such a versatile fall vegetable. You can serve this roasted squash as a simple side dish as is, use it in place of pasta with a tasty marinara sauce, do a quick saute with other veggies, or my favorite way–plain with lots of butter! Roasting is my favorite way of cooking squash in the fall and winter because it’s so simple to do and makes the house smell wonderful.
How to Make Roasted Spaghetti Squash
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise with a large knife. Scoop out & discard the seeds of each half with a spoon.
Place the cleaned squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil then rub the inside and outer rim of each squash half to evenly coat with oil. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Roast in the oven for 45-55 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes before using a fork to scrape out the squash meat from each half, it will separate into spaghetti-like strands. Serve with butter and enjoy.

Spaghetti squash is the one winter squash I almost never buy. Time to change that!
We recently had this and I actually really enjoyed it. Yours looks very good.
Not a squash I know, I wonder if they even grow them here! Keep well and stay safe, Diane

I remember the first time I served spaghetti squash to my husband and was delighted that he really enjoyed it.
