After removing the spaghetti squash from the Instant Pot let it cool long enough to be able to handle it. See the video below on how to cook spaghetti squash in the Instant Pot. Slice it vertically for shorter strands but if you prefer longer strands like spaghetti then cut it horizontal.

Scoop out the seeds and then using a fork scrape the flesh into the strands. Use immediately or put it into the fridge to use when you are ready.

If you are gluten free but craving bread this will do the trick. It’s a really easy recipe to make. The best part is it’s a low-calorie recipe, but you would never know it by the taste. I prefer this to actual bread. I did use all-purpose flour for this recipe, but if you want it gluten free use almond flour just add an extra tablespoon.

Besides the microwave my favorite way to cook spaghetti squash is the Instant Pot. It is incredibly easy, and you leave it whole which means it is so much easier to cut open.
