Fail-proof roasted spaghetti squash is easy to make and perfect for babies and toddlers 6 months and up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash (2-3 lbs)
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut the stem end from the spaghetti squash so you have a flat surface. Place the flat end down and cut the squash lengthwise in half.
  3. Use a spoon to scoop the seeds from the squash. 
  4. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and rub to evenly coat the insides. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Roast for 30-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  6. Once cooled to the touch, use a fork to pull the squash into strands and separate from the skin.
  7. Serve with your favorite sauce.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. 
  • Cooking time will vary based on the size and age of the squash.
  • To make cutting easier, you can pierce the whole squash with a sharp knife a few times and microwave for 1-2 minutes to soften the skin and flesh just a bit.
