Ingredients

• 3 large spaghetti squash
• 3–6 teaspoons olive oil
• sea salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice ends off the squash, then cut widthwise into halves or rings. If you cut the squash into rings, try to make the rings about the same size, around 1-1/2 inches.
2. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. (I love using a grapefruit spoon for this.)
3. Place squash on rimmed baking sheet. Use hands to coat each ring with a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
4. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping rings once about 15 minutes in.
5. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes, then peel the skin away and separate the strands into long spaghetti noodles using a fork.
