How Do I Cook Spaghetti Squash Whole

Spaghetti squash is a unique and delicious winter squash that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One of the most popular methods is to cook it whole, which results in tender, spaghetti-like strands. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to cook spaghetti squash whole:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  3. Brush the inside of the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Let the squash cool for a few minutes before scraping the flesh out with a fork. The flesh will naturally separate into spaghetti-like strands.
