Roasted Spaghetti Squash

Today we are going to tackle spaghetti squash!
Because tis’ the season for roasting all kinds of healthy and delicious veggies you can enjoy in endless different variations.

How to roast spaghetti squash:

  1. cut the squash in half.
  2. scoop out the seeds.
  3. brush the inside with good wholesome olive oil.
  4. sprinkle with sea salt and some red pepper flakes.
  5. let it roast away for one hour or so, cut side up.

I like mine with a little attitude, hence the red pepper flakes, and also a little bit extra cooked so it gets nicely golden brown on top. You can throw it under the broiler for a couple of minutes to get a little caramelization going on top.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400”F
  • Cut the squash lengthwise in half. Using a spoon ( a grapefruit spoon works amazing) scoop out all the seeds and reserve for roasting.
  • Place the squash halves on a baking tray cut side up. Brush each one with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and red pepper flakes all over the top.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your likeness.
  • Remove the squash from the oven and allow it to cool. Once cool enough to handle use a fork and shred the flesh onto a tray while holding the squash horizontally, this way nice long spaghetti-like noodles will form.
