Spaghetti Squash: The RIGHT Way to Cut & Roast It

Показать описание
Cutting and roasting spaghetti squash: I've been doing it wrong for years... maybe you have, too?

1. Cutting: If you're after long, spaghetti-like strands in your roasted spaghetti squash, you should cut it crosswise as opposed to lengthwise — it's counterintuitive.

2. Roasting: If you want strands that don't turn to mush, you need to roast the squash for less time. When you remove the squash from the oven, it won't be knife tender or easily pricked with a fork. This will make it a little hard to tell if it's done, so you'll have to trust the method: 45 minutes at 350ºF is about right. Let it cool for 10 minutes; then gently pull with a fork.

I like this method because if you want to dress the spaghetti squash with another warm dressing, the firmer textured strands will be able to stand up to the warmth and weight of whatever dressing you use. Here I've tossed it with the baked feta and tomatoes... so good. Interestingly, I like it even more after it cools to room temperature.

Literally drooling right now. So glad you are using the tomato feta as a component of this recipe. I like your idea on how to dress the spaghettini squash!

1st time I've ever salivated watching a cooking video. Looks delicious. (Clever idea, bisecting the squash laterally. Gonna give that a go as well.) Thank you!

I've found it's too wet this way and you get too much squash juice at the bottom of the bowl.. Cut it into 2 inch circles, let it sit over a screen for 20 minutes. Salt/Pepper lightly, put in the oven at 400 for 30 minutes, flipping it over at 15. let it cool for 30 minutes then peel it off for long dry strands.

The Feta dish is a Greek Dish calked Bougiournti. Add sliced olives, red pepper flakes and some tabasco in it for an epic dish.

Best way to do it. Bake it cut into about 1 to 1 and 1/2 in rings. Ean out the seeds b4 baking.
Then take fork when done and twirl it inside the ring to get the "spaghetti" out.

You are actually correct. Slicing it long way is a pain in the butt because of the stem. Its ridiculous to try and cut through. Cutting it half is way easier.

I’ve been known to use a hammer 🔨 on the back of a knife 🔪 blade to cut open a spaghetti squash. Girls got to do what a girls got to do. 🤣
