Baked Spaghetti Squash
This baked spaghetti squash is a simple vegetable side that turns one squash into tender, golden strands with just olive oil, black pepper, and Florida Pure Butter Infused Sea Salt. Roasting the squash cut side down helps the edges brown while the inside becomes fork-tender but not watery. The butter-infused salt gives the squash a savory, finished flavor without needing extra butter, making it easy to serve as a side dish or as a base for sauce, pesto, roasted vegetables, or grilled protein. If Butter Infused Sea Salt is no longer available, update the page to feature Florida Pure Sea Salt or Garlic Sea Salt before publishing.
INGREDIENTS
-1 spaghetti squash
-1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Why Florida Pure Butter Infused Sea Salt Works in This Recipe
Florida Pure Butter Infused Sea Salt works with spaghetti squash because the squash is mild and slightly sweet, so it benefits from a savory finishing note. The butter flavor makes the strands taste richer without complicating the recipe, while the sea salt keeps the seasoning clean. Verify that this product is still available before promoting it; if not, use Florida Pure Sea Salt for a classic version or Garlic Sea Salt for a savory variation.
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribbing. Drizzle the inside of the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with Florida Pure Butter Infused Sea Salt and black pepper.
Place the spaghetti squash cut side down on the baking sheet and use a fork to poke holes. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside, fork tender, but still a litte bit firm. The time will vary depending on the size of the squash.
Remove from the oven and flip the squash so that it’s cut side up. When cool to the touch, use a fork to scrape and fluff the strands from the sides of the squash.
