Quick Roasted Spaghetti Squash (my favorite way to do it!)

I am ALL ABOUT SQUASH SEASON! There are so many varieties and they’re all so delicious and beneficial with nutrients. Today, I’ll be focusing on a fave, the ROASTED SPAGHETTI SQUASH! Only issue? Sometimes it takes a long time to cook… and sometimes it comes out mega soggy. Well, after trying all the ways to roast this thing, I’ve settled on my favorite cooking method.

Ready?

Spaghetti Squash RINGS.

Yup.

You just need to cut your squash widthwise into 1-inch rings and roast them up that way… it saves time and has a more consistent result without the soggy factor on your strands.
