Instructions
 

  • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Preheat oven to 400 °F
  • Lightly spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Soften spaghetti squash by cooking for 2–3 minutes in the microwave. Remove from the microwave.
  • Cut spaghetti squash in half, lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out seeds.
