Spaghetti Squash: The RIGHT Way to Cut & Roast It

  • Cutting and roasting spaghetti squash: I've been doing it wrong for years... maybe you have, too?
    1. Cutting: If you're after long, spaghetti-like strands in your roasted spaghetti squash, you should cut it crosswise as opposed to lengthwise - it's counterintuitive.
    2. Roasting: If you want strands that don't turn to mush, you need to roast the squash for less time. When you remove the squash from the oven, it won't be knife tender or easily pricked with a fork. This will make it a little hard to tell if it's done, so you'll have to trust the method: 45 minutes at 350ºF is about right. Let it cool for 10 minutes; then gently pull with a fork.
    I like this method because if you want to dress the spaghetti squash with another warm dressing, the firmer textured strands will be able to stand up to the warmth and weight of whatever dressing you use. Here I've tossed it with the baked feta and tomatoes... so good. Interestingly, I like it even more after it cools to room temperature.
    Here's a recipe for baked spaghetti squash with garlicky chickpeas: alexandracooks.com/2019/02/27...
    And here's the recipe for the baked feta and tomatoes, which is what I dump over the cooked spaghetti squash: alexandracooks.com/2021/09/29...

    Literally drooling right now. So glad you are using the tomato feta as a component of this recipe. I like your idea on how to dress the spaghettini squash!

    1st time I've ever salivated watching a cooking video. Looks delicious. (Clever idea, bisecting the squash laterally. Gonna give that a go as well.) Thank you!

    I've found it's too wet this way and you get too much squash juice at the bottom of the bowl.. Cut it into 2 inch circles, let it sit over a screen for 20 minutes. Salt/Pepper lightly, put in the oven at 400 for 30 minutes, flipping it over at 15. let it cool for 30 minutes then peel it off for long dry strands.

      What are you doing to get “squash juice”. I’ve done it this way forever and never had any liquid whatsoever. I did find that cutting it into small discs took forever and was pointless. Only made it more difficult to do. 🫤

      I poke holes in my squash and roast it whole, and don't get squash juice.

    You are actually correct. Slicing it long way is a pain in the butt because of the stem. Its ridiculous to try and cut through. Cutting it half is way easier.

  • @pattijesinoski1958

    Best way to do it. Bake it cut into about 1 to 1 and 1/2 in rings. Ean out the seeds b4 baking.
    Then take fork when done and twirl it inside the ring to get the "spaghetti" out.
