Krok po kroku

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

   Około 10 min

2. 2

   Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and fibrous strands from both halves.

   Wskazówka kucharza: A sharp, sturdy knife is essential for safely cutting the squash. If it's too hard to cut, you can microwave it for 2-3 minutes first to soften the skin.

3. 3

   Brush the cut sides of the spaghetti squash with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

   Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes, cut-side up.

   Wskazówka kucharza: This resting period allows the squash to cool slightly, making it easier to handle, and helps the strands separate cleanly.

   Use a fork to gently scrape the flesh from the inside of each squash half, creating spaghetti-like strands. Transfer the strands to a serving dish.
