Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes until tender.
