Perfectly Roasted Spaghetti Squash (LF)
I've come to love spaghetti squash over the years, and I've tried many different methods of preparing it. This by far, hands down, is my absolute favorite way. You actually get long strands of "spaghetti", not mush. I tend to like my squash more on the al dente side, but if you prefer it softer, just cook it a little longer.

Oh my gosh how easy this was and absolutely awesome! Best one I’ve ever made! Thank you Elena thank you so much makes it so much easier…
Yay! it is easy and comes out perfectly every time
Tried it in the Instant Pot for 5 minutes then followed the rest of the instructions. Mine came out a little crunchy. Will have to try again. But this is much easier than the way I was cooking it before.
The size of you squash will determine your cooking time. If it’s not “done enough” just put it back in oven longer.
