How to Roast a Spaghetti Squash

Tired of regular spaghetti? Gluten free but don't like gluten free pasta?
Roasting a squash is easy and it can be done in under an hour from start to finish.

 A spaghetti squash can come from the grocery store and it will usually weigh between 2 and 6 pounds. 

Step 1: cut it in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds like you would a cantaloupe

 Step 2: Place the gutted halves on a cookie sheet lined with foil and use a spoon or a glazing brush to spread olive oil across the inside surface of the squash. Top with some salt and pepper or some Italian seasoning.

 Step 3: lay the squash face-down and bake it at 450* for 30 minutes (40 if it's a bigger squash). You'll know it's done when you flip the pieces over and the inside strand-like membranes are soft and peel away from the skin

 Step 4: Use the same spoon to scoop out the spaghetti-like strands from the skin (or use a new spoon if you want to wash more dishes later) and put them on a plate. Top with marinara sauce for a healthier spaghetti dinner, or serve with lemon juice, green onions and parmesan for a more unique dish. You can eat salad or grilled vegetables as a side.
