Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt or more to taste
1/8 teaspoon pepper or more to taste
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
chopped fresh basil or parsley optional

Instructions

Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil and season evenly with salt and pepper.
Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400°F for 35-45 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the strands can be easily pulled away with a fork.
Once roasted, let the spaghetti squash cool slightly so excess steam can escape. This helps prevent the strands from becoming soggy. Use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti-like strands.
Transfer the strands to a bowl and toss with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve warm and top with fresh chopped basil or flat-leaf parsley, if desired.

Notes

Use Freshly Grated Parmesan: Freshly grating the Parmesan or using a high-quality grated Parmesan adds the best flavor and melts better into the warm spaghetti squash.
Butter: You can add a small amount of butter or light butter once done for extra richness.
