Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and enhances its tender, spaghetti-like strands.

With a subtle flavor and satisfyingly light texture, roasted spaghetti squash is the perfect base for anything from marinara and pesto to a simple drizzle of olive oil and Parmesan. Plus, it’s packed with fiber and essential nutrients like vitamin C and potassium.

This Roasted Spaghetti Squash recipe is a versatile, veggie-forward dish that can be part of a main course or a delicious, healthy side. Quick to prepare and endlessly customizable, it’s ideal for adding more vegetables to your meal in a fun and tasty way!
