How do I prepare the spaghetti squash for roasting?

What gives the miso sesame sauce its distinctive flavor?

The miso sesame sauce gets its unique flavor from a blend of tahini for creaminess, miso paste for umami depth, coconut sugar for a touch of sweetness, seasoned rice vinegar for tang, and a small clove of garlic for aromatic notes.

Can the miso sesame sauce be made in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the miso sesame sauce ahead of time. Simply blend all the sauce ingredients until smooth and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days before tossing it with the freshly cooked spaghetti squash.

How do I achieve the 'spaghetti' strands from the squash?

After roasting the squash until it's fork-tender, use a fork to scrape the cooked flesh from the skin. Scrape lengthwise to create distinct, spaghetti-like strands that will hold the sauce beautifully.
