Cooking spaghetti squash in the oven is a simple and effective way to prepare this healthy and versatile vegetable. Spaghetti squash gets its name from its stringy, spaghetti-like flesh when cooked. It is a good source of fiber, vitamin C, and potassium.
To cook spaghetti squash in the oven, simply cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
