Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti squash is hands down one of my favorite vegetables. Absolutely delicious and loaded with nutrients, it’s such a versatile veggie. Over the years I have cooked it several different ways and by far my favorite way is in my Instant Pot. It makes the “noodles” just soft enough, perfect for adding marinara, soy sauce, or my personal favorite my vegan cashew cheese sauce. Enjoy!

How to Make Spaghetti Squash in the Instant Pot

Start by rinsing off your spaghetti squash and patting dry. In the liner of your pot, pour in 1 cup of water and place trivet in the bottom. Cut your spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds to discard. Then, you’ll place your squash face down onto the trivet. Seal your Instant Pot and set to high pressure for 7 minutes. When the timer goes off, allow it to sit for an additional 1-2 minutes. You will now need to CAREFULLY release the pressure. Once pressure is released, carefully open your lid watching out for steam. Use a pot holder to pick up the cooked spaghetti squash and string out the vegetable noodles using a fork. Serve and enjoy!
