Ingredients

1 (2 pound) medium (spaghetti squash)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps

1
Get ready. Preheat the oven to 425℉.
2
Wash and prep the squash. Thoroughly wash the skin of the squash and pat dry. Use a very sharp chef’s knife to carefully slice the squash in half lengthwise. Use a large spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard.
3
Season the squash. Season the cut halves of the squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4
Bake the squash. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes until tender.
5
Scoop and serve. Using a sturdy spatula, flip the squash halves over on the sheet pan. Use a fork to scrape the inside of the squash to create noodle-like strands. Serve warm.
