Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place spaghetti squash halves cut-side up in a baking dish. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a small bowl, combine softened butter, olive oil, honey, minced ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a fragrant paste. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Evenly spread the garlic-ginger mixture over the cut surfaces of the spaghetti squash halves, ensuring each strand is generously coated. Drizzle any remaining mixture into the center of each squash. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Lightly sprinkle the squash with kosher salt. (1 minute)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 1 hour. (60 minutes)

07

Step

Once cooked, remove the squash from the oven and let it cool slightly. (10 minutes)

08

Step

Using two forks, gently scrape the flesh of the squash to create spaghetti-like strands. Mix the strands with the seasoned butter mixture within each squash half to ensure even distribution of flavor. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Serve warm as a side dish or as a creative base for your favorite toppings.

For a deeper flavor, try browning the butter before mixing it with the other ingredients. This adds a nutty richness that complements the garlic and ginger beautifully.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference. A pinch more can add a delightful kick!
Leftover roasted spaghetti squash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
Consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice after roasting for a bright, citrusy finish.
