Tips for Making Sweetened Spaghetti Squash

  • Choose a ripe spaghetti squash. The squash should be heavy for its size and have a deep yellow color.
  • Pierce the squash with a fork several times before cooking. This will help the steam escape and prevent the squash from bursting.
  • Cook the squash until it is tender. You can cook it in the oven, microwave, or Instant Pot.
  • Use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti-like strands.
  • Sweeten the squash with your favorite sweetener. You can use maple syrup, honey, stevia, or even granulated sugar.
  • Add other spices and flavorings to taste. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract.
  • Serve the squash warm or cold. You can enjoy it on its own or use it as a side dish or topping for other dishes.
