3.
Place
the spaghetti squash cut side down on the baking sheet and use a fork to poke
holes. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside, fork
tender, but still a little bit firm. The time will vary depending on the size
of your squash. I also find that the timing can vary from squash to squash.
4. Remove
from the oven and flip the squash so that it’s cut side up. When cool to the
touch, use a fork to scrape and fluff the strands from the sides of the squash.
