Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash

Hi Everyone, this is the best way (in my humble opinion) to make Spaghetti Squash, it gets cooked through every time with a set amount of time (no having to leave it in the oven longer, etc.).

I’m sharing all the helpful kitchen tools that I use for this Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash recipe in the recipe card at the end of the post (*Amazon Affiliate Links).

Ingredients

• 1 Spaghetti Squash, rinsed
• vegan unsalted butter (substitute with olive oil or regular butter, * if not vegan), amount to taste for serving
• Kosher or sea salt, amount to taste

Kitchen Tools

• Instant Pot
• 2-cup wet measure
• cutting board
• chef’s knife
• trivet
• serving plate
• fork, for scooping or shredding the squash

Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash Recipe Notes

• Instant Pot Model: I own the Instant Pot Duo (Instant Pot Duo 60 321 Electric Pressure Cooker, 6-QT, Stainless Steel/Black)
• About the “Steam Setting”: If you press “Steam,” and press no other buttons, the Instant Pot will cook your food at high pressure (10.2-11.6 psi) for 10 minutes, heating the water you added to the insert and steaming the food in your steamer basket.
• Storage & Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for 5 days in an air-tight container.
• Save Those Seeds! You can toast them with oil, salt, and pepper, or other favorite seasonings in the toaster oven (or roasted in the oven) to snack on for later.

Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash is the best way to make Spaghetti Squash, cooks up fast in your Instant Pot pressure cooker and always comes out perfectly tender and delicious. gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, Whole30, Paleo

Instructions

1. To prepare the Spaghetti Squash (for easier slicing): Using a fork, poke holes all around the surface of the Spaghetti Squash. Microwave it for 3-4 minutes on high (depending on your microwave). This will allow you to cut the Spaghetti Squash easier in half. Slice it in half and scoop out the seeds.
2. To Cook the Spaghetti Squash in the Instant Pot: Make sure the valve on the top of the Instant Pot is set to sealing. Place the steamer basket (one should come with your Instant Pot) on the bottom of the Instant Pot and add the minimum amount of water for the Instant Pot model that you have (I add 18 ounces of water which is the minimum amount for the model that I own, see notes). Add the halved Spaghetti Squash on top of the steamer basket. Put the cover on, and set the Instant Pot to steam (about 7-10 minutes, if your Instant Pot doesn’t have the same settings as mine). The Instant Pot will take 9-10 minutes to be brought up to pressure. When the timer goes off, when it’s done, you can set the release valve to “venting,” which will release the remaining pressure (make sure your hand is not near the vent, the steam is hot!). When the floating valve goes down, then you can take the lid off safely. Drain any excess water out. Using a fork, remove and serve the Spaghetti Squash inside the shell, served with olive oil, vegan butter (or if not vegan, regular unsalted butter), salt, and pepper, amount to taste. Enjoy!
3. To Cook The Spaghetti Squash Whole in the Instant Pot: Follow the same instructions by heating it in the microwave above, just skip the step where you cut it in half. Cook for 15 minutes on High Pressure in the Instant Pot. Follow the same rest of the directions and just scoop the seeds out before serving.
