Why is My Baked Spaghetti Squash Watery?

Adding too much oil and salt can make the squash watery. A light drizzle of oil and a light sprinkle of salt are enough. Also, poke a few holes in the skin with a fork and place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven.

How Do You Keep Spaghetti Squash From Getting Soggy?

Roast the squash cut side down at a lower temperature for a longer time. Cooking at too high of a temperature can make the outside mushy while keeping the inside firm.

Does Spaghetti Squash Need to Be Cured?

Yes, if you plan to store spaghetti squash for a while, it needs to be cured. To cure spaghetti squash, let it sit in a sunny spot for 10 days.
