Equipment

  • Baking Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 2 spaghetti squash
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 4 teaspoons brown sugar
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste
  • 4 small pads unsalted butter optional

Instructions
 

Oven Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prep your spaghetti squash: cut each squash in half lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop out the seeds and any dark membranes.
  • In each squash half, add 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and a small pinch each of salt and black pepper. Using a brush, brush the insides of the squash with the maple mixture. So the insides are coated.
  • Take a baking sheet pan, and place parchment paper on top. Place each squash half on the baking sheet, cut side-up. Bake for 40-50 minutes until the inside of the squash is fork-tender.
  • Add a small pad of butter to each squash while it is still warm (optional but highly recommended). Serve warm from the oven.

Air Fryer Instructions

  • Follow steps 2 & 3 above, then bake the spaghetti squash at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. You may only be able to fit 2 halves at a time, so you will need to cook the squash in two batches.
