Preheat oven to 400°. Line rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
Place a whole spaghetti squash on parchment-lined pan. Prick all over with fork. Roast on middle rack of oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce through skin to the inside of squash.
Remove squash to cutting surface. Use a sharp knife to slice in half.
Scoop out and discard seeds. Use a fork to break up the squash from the sides so it looks like spaghetti.
Add 2-3 Tbsp vegan scallion (or chive) cream cheese and 1/4 Tsp sea salt (if using) to each half; use fork to stir in cream cheese until melted and creamy.
Garnish each half with 1-2 Tbsp grated vegan parmesan. Serve immediately as a dinner for 2 or a side dish for 4-6. Reheats well as leftovers too.
