Spaghetti squash gets a serious glow-up here, transformed into tender, noodle-like strands tossed in a fragrant blend of fresh ginger, garlic, and golden turmeric. The coconut aminos bring a savory, slightly sweet depth that ties everything together without any soy, and a splash of apple cider vinegar adds just enough brightness to keep each bite lively. Roasting the squash cut-side down at high heat is the move — it caramelizes the flesh and makes those long, satisfying strands pull away effortlessly with a fork. The whole dish comes together in one skillet after that, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor payoff. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nut concerns, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. A scatter of fresh cilantro on top makes it look as good as it tastes, though it's completely optional if you're in the anti-cilantro camp. Light enough to serve as a side but bold enough to hold its own as a main, this one earns a permanent spot in the weeknight rotation.

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.
