What are the best tips for cooking spaghetti squash?

Fork the flesh into strands after cooking — it looks just like spaghetti. Don't overcook or the strands get mushy instead of al dente.

How do you roast (halved) spaghetti squash?

Roast (halved) at 50–35 min. Cut side down on oiled sheet pan. Fork-tender.

Instant Pot at 7–8 min + quick release. Halved on trivet. Quick and perfect.

Microwave at 10–14 min. Poke holes. Cover with plastic wrap.
