Spaghetti squash gets a serious flavor upgrade here, roasted until tender and then tossed with a punchy, aromatic sauce built on fresh ginger, garlic, and golden turmeric. The coconut aminos bring a savory, slightly sweet depth that ties everything together, while a splash of apple cider vinegar keeps it bright and balanced. Because every single ingredient in this dish is naturally free of cinnamon — no spice blends, no hidden seasonings, no store-bought sauces to second-guess — it's a genuinely stress-free cook. That matters more than it might seem, since cinnamon has a sneaky way of showing up in "warm spice" mixes and Asian-inspired sauces that otherwise look perfectly safe. Here, you control every element from start to finish. The squash itself is the star: roasted cut-side down until the flesh pulls into long, noodle-like strands that soak up the ginger-garlic oil beautifully. Finish it with a handful of fresh cilantro if you like a little herbal lift, and dinner is done.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Brush the cut sides of the spaghetti squash with 1 tbsp of the coconut oil and season with 1/4 tsp of the salt. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
Roast for 35–40 minutes, until the skin yields easily when pressed and a fork slides through the flesh without resistance. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
